Medium amber colored body. the aroma was strong grapefruit and walnuts. The taste was basic bread crust and grapefruit. A straightforward and well made IPA.

Appearance: Pours a clear, orange body with, well, no head, but we are dealing with a growler here. Smell: Backdrop of pale malts and wet grains with a fair amount of hops smelling of pine needles and sweet, juicy nectarines at the fore. Taste: Grainy pale malts before a blast of nectarine and pithy grapefruit flavors. Touch of pine resin. Some sweetness blended in there contrasted by a sharp hop bitterness. Long bitter finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Mild carbonation. Kinda watery, I gotta say. Drinkability: Cascade is right! A fairly nice IPA.

The aroma is oddly slightly grapey hops. This is a light ipa and therefore easy drinking.

Growler at Noogfest 08. Pours amber with reddish hues and an off white head. Aroma of citrusy hops. Malt profile of caramel, bread grains, and toasted malt with a orange grapefruit hoppy middle. I pick up some leafiness as well. Clingy bitterness on the finish. Not bad at all.

12oz hand bottle. Shit! I forgot about this one... let’s see if it has held up... Cap come off with a small wisp... aggressive pour yields excellent carbonation. Well done Joe!

Aroma of citrus and herbal hops with a decent bready and doughy malt base. Pours a thick looking dark copper with a sustained head of big white bubbles. Flavor is quite bitter with an excellent toasty malt backbone. The hops are spicy, juicy, earthy and plenty aggressive. Medium to full bodied. Slick on the palate with excellent carbonation. Finishes quite lengthy, bitter and dry. Nicely done! Thanks Joe!

Hand bottle shared by puddintane: Pours a clear orange gold with a white head. Aroma, citrus and herbal notes, spicy hops as well. Flavor, citrus, grassy and earthy notes, some slight pale malts, but it’s a very hop forward IPA, finishes with a nice bitter kick.

Hand bottle courtesy of Pud. Pours a clear amber color with a smallish white head. Aroma is spicy hops, citrus, light caramel malt. Flavor is citrus, pepper, caramel, floral hops. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished with a biting bitterness. Pretty decent, though a little peppery for my tastes.
