Nov 23, 2009 Courtesy of ygtbsm94. Thanks for sharing, Brad! Gold, foamy white head. Soft pine and grapefruit zest aromas ride a light foundation of toasty malt throughout. Bright bitter citric-pine flavors round with a touch of back end sweet malt. Has a light Pliny tone to it. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, moderately bitter finish. A very nice session IPA…

Nov 14, 2009 A: Poured with a big, white, creamy head... dissipated to about 1/2-finger or so over time. Very good lacing, left in sheets on the sides of the glass. Body is a dark golden color, and clear.
S: Mostly hops and pine, with some citrus pushing its way through all the hoppiness.
T: The citrus and pine needles are what’s prevalent at first, and then it finishes moderately bitter and hoppy. It’s all very clean and smooth, however... excellent balance.
M: Light-to-medium body with a slightly creamy texture and average carbonation.
D: That’s a damn fine IPA... I was excited to try this beer (had it at the Uber Tavern in Seattle... the keg had just literally been tapped) after all I’ve heard, and it didn’t let me down at all.

Nov 13, 2009 Bottle. Nice orange copper hue with a yellowish foamy head. Great aroma of piny and citrusy hops. I have had this many times and just got around to rating it. This is up there with my favorites despite the towering shadow that The Elder leaves over it. Fairly sticky and resiny, but extremely drinkable. Great citrus flavor with a solid malt keeps it fairly balanced. Finsih is Bitter, but not extremely bitter, with a touch of sweetness.

Nov 11, 2009 bottle, thanks to wavers1! Pours light orange with a medium frothy white head. Pine and grapefruit hop aromas. Sweet pale malt and a slight toasted/nutty maltyness are cut sharply by a very nice hop bitterness more on the pine/peppery side than citrus. Nice and dry finish, a solid IPA.

Nov 10, 2009 Hazy amber. Striking grapefruity nose. Punishing soapy oily hops makes my tastebuds distort. The mouthfeel is fairly soft but the bitterness is relentless and inky. Hardcore IPA. too bitter for me

Nov 9, 2009 a very good ipa. Probably top 3 for me. Nice crisp bite to it. Hops pronounced on the nose and flavour but not hit over the head with it. It has a nice clean finish. Nice brew
