Sledutah (20), Utah, USA Oct 23, 2009 On tap at Sockeye. Light copper color with a nice head and small amount of lace left in the glass. Plenty of citrus and flower aroma. Real smooth taste with the hops overpowering the malt. Nice smooth finish at the back of the mouth. The is a real nice beer. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Sep 9, 2009 Lots of grapefruit and floral notes on the nose. Very citrusy. Some light sweetness underneath. Golden amber pour, lots of lace and a decent creamy head. Citrus - grapefruit, a good deal of this. Some floral notes. Soft malts add balance, but this is a fantastic hoppy drinkable ipa. I could only imagine if this were right off tap. 1 month old growler, but still awesome. scrizzz (1250), kirkland, Washington, USA Sep 9, 2009 grower from ditmer, thanks! Dank earthy aroma, musty citrus, like odd cologne. Light bronze. juicy and earthy. Citrus and wet on one side, woodsy and dry on the other. Light bodied, lingering dry aspirin finish. bvc (227), Kenmore, Washington, USA Sep 9, 2009 Growler via scrizz. Opened with a spirited hiss...which is a good start. Pours clear orange caramel color with a thin tight head that settles to a ring around my glass. Pretty nice nose of very tropical fruity. Peppery, pine, grassy hops notes on the end. The flavor is very ’compact’ on the ipa spectrum, by that I mean no flavors are really over powering or stand-outish. Nice malt and bittering up front with some citrus fruit over shadowing and then dusty bittering on the end. Decent stuff that I would like to try fresh. Thanks Clint. jarndyce (38), Idaho, USA Mar 22, 2009 On tap at Sockeye. Great color and aroma. Not as citrusy as I expected. Nice head. Almost a 3-D color in my glass. Delicious but not spectacular. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA Jul 29, 2008 This is a great sessionable IPA. All the bases are covered here. Great balance, with lots of ctirus acidity, hoppy bitterness that lends alot of great fruit flavors, with a realy clean malt body that I could stand to have been a little more powerful, but still this is a really well done take on the style. unrulythings (73), Portland, Oregon, USA Jul 28, 2008 on tap at Crusty’s Pizza, McCall, ID. pours a bright golden color with a big head. aroma is full of hop and intoxicating citrus. flavor is smooth with hints of grapefruit, green hops, and bitter grassiness. a very good IPA and perfect for a warm summer night. skoisirius (570), Seattle, Washington, USA Jul 14, 2008 On tap at the brewery. See through golden orange pour with great retention. Aroma is fairly weak, mainly hinting at whichever malt is being used with a tiny blast of citrusy hops. Flavor brings it a bit more proper with a weaker malt up front and through the body, but where this gets interesting is the hop profile really kicks in RIGHT at the finish and through the end. Lots of bittered business going on. Fairly resiny. A decent example, but was hoping for a bit more per all your ratings...
