Bottled (from CK). Pours hazily golden orange with a large, fluffy, white and lacy head. Aroma of citrus and exotic fruity hops ( pineapple, mango) as well as some aromatic nuts, caramel malts and a note of perfume. Sweet caramel and mango sweet flavor is balanced with constant bitterness taming the excessive sweetness. There’s also notes of citrus, spices and herbs in the flavor. Through the end the bitter hops show what they are made of. Lightly carbonated palate is just on the limits of being too sweetly thick, probably it’s on the better side of that faint line. Solid IPA, me likes.

Dec 16, 2009 Dark amber pour with a white head. Nice hoppy aroma and taste. The hops are tasty, but not dominating or overtaking. Really nice lacing on the glass.

Nov 22, 2009 on tap @ Jakes Bar and Bistro Steilacoom, this is a great IPA and it is approachable, crisp, hoppy without being to resinous on the tounge, a great food ipa with just the right amount of floral quality!

Big pine hop aroma. Small white head. Golden coloured very hoppy and fruity with a pine flavour. A little dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish.

Nov 22, 2009 From 22 0z bottle into tulip.
It poured a golden yellow color a bit hazy with a nice white head.
The smell is definitely San Diego style IPA all the way with nice floral hop aromas.
Up front it has a strong grapefruit citrus hop flavor with some floral and pine hops flavors as well. A bit of malt with a nice dry crisp finish.
Not a bad IPA at all, I think a little more from the malt side wouldn’t hurt though. Overall a great IPA, but I’d swing for their Hop 15 before this any day.

Nov 12, 2009 This beer is definitely geared toward the hops, it is light and fizzy, which exaggerates the bitterness and the finish.
