Apr 18, 2009 Bottle Pours out a crisp clear fold topped with a long lasting white head. Aroma of citrus hops along with a nice sweetness. Tast a nice hop on it not over the top just a good bitterness. A nice balance with the malts. A tast IPA.

Apr 17, 2009 (500 ml bottle ("bottled on 12 008") via trade with WeeHeavySD, thanks Jon!) Pours hazy light amberish yellow with three fingers of stout, foamy off-white head. Big aroma of grapefruit, along with pine and a bit of sweat. Mouthfeel fairly smooth but lightly pebbly, medium-heft. Fairly big, foamy rings of lacing. Flavor is very hoppy, loads of grapefruit and pine and a bit sweaty. Medium-heavy bitterness overlays and carrries through into finish and aftertaste. There is a bit of malt sweetness underneath but it’s pretty faint. Pretty good but could use a little more balance, sweetness and smoothness to be up there with the really good IPAs IMO. Seems almost like a test batch for a big IPA.

Apr 13, 2009 Pours a nice hazy golden amber with a very thin head leaving a very minimal ring. Aroma of sweet citrus and nice malt backbone. Flavor is big hops on the outset with an awesomely bitter hop finish that sticks with you. The malt is there, but is no match for the hop profile. The palate is nice and dry with a moderately heavy mouthfeel and just the right touch of carbonation to finish. Fantastic IPA and just a notch below the Elder in my opinion.

Apr 11, 2009 Bottle from toncatcher. Bottled 7-2008. Pours a murky light amber with a thin, soapy head. Aroma is dominated by peach with background shortbread maltiness. Flavor is citrus hops and sweet malt with a long grassy bitterness to the finish. Low carb and viscous mouthfeel. Delicious IPA from the west-sayeeed.

Apr 9, 2009 Pours a perfect dark yellow with a nice head. The body on this is strong but the hops take over after the first sip. Citrusy hops right upfront, then a bitter finish. Great beer.

Apr 8, 2009 Pours an amberish orange color with a foamy, off white head that quickly settles to a thin flim. The aroma shows hints of fresh oranges and grapefruit to go with some piney hops over a toasted toffee malt backbone. The flavor follows suit with the orange and grapefruit dominating the flavor with just the right amount of bitterness. The toffee malt comes through and add just a hint of sweetness. Medium bodied with good carbonation and very crisp and clean finish. A very easy drinking ipa that I would drink all the time if I could.
