Pours a dark golden amber, with fizzy lacing, and a nice wet head. Grapefruit and typical array of hops spatter the nose, with vanilla and citrus. Hoppy flavor, kind thick. Grapefruit and citrus, of course. Balanced; not a real hop monster. Drinkable and refreshing. Bier brauen (215), Bremerton, Washington, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 3, 2008 Updated: Mar 5, 2008Clear orange pour with white head. Aroma of sweet citrus and some pine. Taste of hops and hops only. Citrus is again present in the taste. Finish is dry and not very bitter. Mouthfeel is moderately carbonated Hops are pretty underwhelming for a beer that only features hops. Needless to say a little weak overall, but not terrible.

Aroma – Nice IPA aroma. Malt and subtle spices.
Appearance – Amber color, Nice head and very hazy and tons of sediment.
Flavor – This has a medium IPA flavor. The Hops where very weak and the malt was very thick. Too much sediment in this beer.
Palate – Weak Mouthfeel, lots of sediment in this finish. Ewwwww
Overall – The beer has a good flavor but the extra sediment in this beer was too much and it gave off a bad taste and Mouthfeel. .

Pours a nice hazy orange unfortunately thats about all it has going for it, nice and thin IPA with not as much hops as i expected, easy to drink easy to slam, not much going on with this one......

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 23, 2007 Cloudy orange, thin beige head. Very piney, woodsy aroma. It’s a little on the thin side, which I actually like sometimes in a IPA. Hops completely overwhelm any malt characteristics, so it comes across as very bitter, very dry, almost astringent.
