Jan 30, 2005 Orangey-amber colour. Woody, citric, piney hop nose. Clear, deep, woody, earthy bitterness meshes with slighty toasty breadcrusty malts. Finish is long, dry, woody. I am seldom disappointed with a PNW IPA, this one no exception.

Oct 23, 2006 On tap at Hop Vine Pub, Seattle. Copper colour with thin white head. Very hoppy. Astringent, woody. Not much malt structure. Bit of woody vanilla and then big whop of hops on end. Uncultured and no depth. Astringent hop finish and fun though.
