Apr 17, 2006 Hazy copper with strong grapefruit aroma. Tastes like I’m chewing on a big nug. Awesome. A true hop heads dream. A little unbalanced, but not too much. This is up there with my favorite IPA’s. Roots is a must see if in Portland.

Jul 23, 2005 Lightly murky with an orange-rust hue, clearer than the other Roots beers. Very nice sweaty hop juice nose containing pineapple, nutty apple juice and some sour citric notes. Flavor is less bitter than expected - smooth almost. Has a BO/sweat scent and flavor. Decent body but strange overall... like some farmhouse or saison qualities, which is nice, but it still doesn’t work so well.

Jul 20, 2005 Pours a oakish, murky, strawish color. The smell of Amarillo hops rises from this beer and plays with my nose. Deep hop bitter taste when first sipped. Gives way to citrus, and grassy flavors. A good maltback bone this beer sort of haves, just not enough to stand up to the hops. A good, but slightly un-balanced double IPA.

Jul 19, 2005 Pours a slightly cloudy copper with a light red hue and a off-white head. Big sharp piney/citrus hop nose. I wish this brew had a bit more sweetness up front to balance out the massive hop bitter finish, maybe mash at a higher temp and get some more sweetness. The finish was very bitter, really stayed with you forever in a long dry finish.
