| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 8, 2008 Tangerine-colored bomb in a glass with a firm, tan head. Piquant hop aromas of pine and grapefruit, tightly wound together with touches of caramel and alcohol. On the first sip, the beer surprises with a well-rounded fruity-hop bouquet with orange, tangerine, apricot and a squirt of grapefruit. Perhaps deserves a better rating. Good all around. Caramel malt sweetness merges well with the fruity, ctirus hops. Angeloregon (2025), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 1, 2008 On tap at Trumpeter’s Ale House in Mount Vernon, WA--Poured a bright orange-amber body with a handsome fluffy white head. Nose of strawberries and lush citrus fruits. Quite unique scent. Very delicious. Great hoppy presence with a well balanced malt spine. Clean and uber-delicious! fakepurseninja (785), Washington, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 31, 2007 Rich and smooth IPA - very floral and malty. Sweet citrus hop essence gave me the impression of mandarin and ripe grapefuit. Very nice IPA. Oakes (8108), gone rambling, Cambodia
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 21, 2007 Preliminary notes (1st batch), Skookum taproom: Somewhat chunky (high cohumulone) bitterness. Woody hop character. Malts have a hint of darker breadcrust, and might be a bit husky. Brewer indicated he’d probably be dry-hopping this in the future and I figure that’s a good idea as the bitterness is nice but the aroma is a bit light on the hops for the style ’round here. Will revisit in the summer. Caskalefan (43), Bellingham, Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 16, 2007 Nice, smooth, typically grapefruity Northwest IPA.. Decent body, nice aroma, and pleasant going down, just nothing really special about it.
