| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 28, 2008 On tap at the brewery. Double IPAs seem to be harder to find these days with hop prices skyrocketing, so I was surprised to find this on tap. Lighter amber body with a soft foamy white head. Floral citrus hop nose, sweet orange candy character to it. A bit more subdued double ipa, not overwhelming, which I enjoyed, sessionable and big flavored. This could probably be some breweries regular IPA, but a nice beer overall. timfoolery (484), California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 7, 2008 I had a little more respect for this one, as it had the most taste and kick of any of the SS brews. It was rather piney with a smooth, tasty palate. When I go back to Ashland, this is the beer I’ll drink at the SS. BTW, the food is excellent! DTM (541), Winters, California, USA

Full-flavored and smooth on the palate. It had citrus hop flavor with a good balance of matls. Great effort!! BrewDad (2370), Olympia, Washington, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 10, 2008 Hazy orange brown with a thin bubbly head. Pine hops, floral hops, and wood in the aroma. The flavor is very floral and piney with a good amount of hoppy bitterness balanced by a nice malty presence that is kind of sweet. Only a hint of alcohol. The mouth is overwhelmed by a floral peppery bitterness. Very well balanced. Big hops, good malts that don’t detract from the hops. Very nice stuff.
