Sep 24, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a extremely large sized head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a slightly hazy softly carbonated light orange brown colored body. The mild aroma was hoppy. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of hops and caramel. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

Sep 24, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy orange with a thin head and lovely fine lacing. Sweet orange, floral & barley-toy aroma. Solid malting, not overly sweet, a touch strong on the alcohol side - a bit of fusel bitterness creeping in there. Grapefruit & jasmine tea in the hops, long, lingering finish - yum! Good crisp body with a good thickness to it. Great carbonation. A bit on the strong side to be too quaffable, but a very good brew all the same.

Sep 23, 2009 lovely copper color with a frothy light beige head. truly some of the loveliest lacing I’ve ever seen on a glass. aroma is very crisp with light lemony, grassy hops. flavor is an excellent balance of citrus (grapefruit) hops and a light burnt brown sugar maltiness. Beer tastes extremely fresh and crisp. Really a remarkable beer.

Sep 22, 2009 Pours a golden off white with a nice head. Was expecting that real fresh flowery type hops smell and tast but it does not deliver. More like a decent solid IPA. Some bitter hops with a bit of sweet carmel.

Sep 20, 2009 A nice aroma at first opening and good mouthfeel on a parched tongue after a three hour drive, but if you’re going to say "fresh hops" on the label, you have to do more than this to impress me. I’m from Oregon, after all.
