| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 12, 2009 Bottle from Liquor Mart in Boulder. Pours a hazy gold with super-fine suspended sediment and a fluffy, pitted, white head, and patchy lace. The nose is outstanding: a beautiful blend of "juicy" citric and mildly resinous hops and a candy sugar-like supporting malt note. Medium-bodied and tongue-coating with a significant bitter hopped finish. Citrus hops hug your tongue along with just enough malt sweetness to keep the hops from destroying your palate. The finish is a nice, lingering, slightly resinous, bitter/hoppy parade across the back of your tongue. This is a damned fine IPA. I wish we could get it locally. BgThang (118), Texas, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 24, 2009 On tap at Local 44 in West Philly. Pours with a finger of white fluffy head. Nice golden/hazy color. Smell is of pine and citrus hops, a good blend between the two. Taste is more citrus hops than pine but also a good blend. Mouthfeel was actually light for this type of beer, which was a refreshing surprise. Overall, a very drinkable IPA. I was expecting more of a hop bomb but it really isn’t. This beer is a fairly, but not overly hopped IPA with a crisp and clear mouthfeel. Not overly sweet and not overly hopped. My first of what will hopefully be many Russian River beers. awiseman01 (342), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
