Jun 30, 2001 Updated: Jul 10, 2006Rerated July 10, 2006. I really like this stuff. No, it’s not too awfully bitter as the name might imply, but it is delicious and well-rounded. Full and smooth with just a nice kick of crystal hop at the end. How did I not enjoy it this much the first time around?

Dec 13, 2002 Pours a nice orange color, that gets quite hazy when the sediment is added. A nice persistant head on top. The aroma is the typical westcoast piney hop aroma. The flavors are quite a bit better. Much more malt than anticipated. Well done. A very nice session beer.

Apr 1, 2005 22 oz bottle pours a cloudy golden orange with a huge foamy off white head that leaves a sticky lacing in my glass. A good dose of citrus in the aroma, fruity grapefruit, pear, pineapple and caramel flavors, medium to full bodied with a soft and creamy mouthfeel, finishes with a lingering bitterness.

Jul 13, 2002 The boastful head slowly melted away to reveal a golden amber hue. The aroma teases you like a reluctant stripper, giving you hints of what is to come and inviting you to give it a try. Smooth taste greets the mouth, soon the tastes of fruit leave you looking for Lifesavers in the bottom of the glass. Bitter, yes. Brutal? A better word is beautiful.

Mar 3, 2004 22oz Bottle: Poured orange with a thick white head. Hop filled aroma. Equally hop filled taste. This is a keeper. Not to be confused with English bitters, this is more of an IPA. Could use a little more malt but I like it just the way it is.

Apr 24, 2002 Nice grapefruit hoppiness in the aroma translates well into the flavor. Great aftertaste. Minimal malts. Lovely unfiltered orangy body. Not brutal, just a good bitter.

Jun 6, 2002 Kind of a floral and hop aroma and an amber-orange hue. There was a grapefruit/lemon citrus taste secondary to the huge bitterness of the hops. This tasted like it has more hops than any IPA I’ve had. Finishes anything but smooth, but that’s ok. Only thing is that it left remnants of bitterness on my taste buds for a long time. Went really well with brie cheese and crackers.
