chrisafari (75), Orange, California, USA Aug 14, 2008 Pours rich amber brown with thin white head. Darker than most IPAs. Aroma is dominated by hops and subtle malt. Flavor begins nice and hoppy with good roasted taste. This IPA is more malty than most, but the balance between hops and malt is very well executed. An nice IPA. Hophead22 (134), Redlands, California, USA Jul 5, 2008 Very nice IPA. Nice hop balance with the malt that makes it a nice drinker. Took home a growler of this. josicka (3), Castle Rock, Colorado, USA does not count Mar 14, 2008 Great beer. Lots of fresh citrus and pine aroma, the grapefruit flavor is very pronounced, semi-dry finish. Very easy to drink. riversideAK (1561), Shoreline, Washington, USA Feb 7, 2008 From old notes. Gold amber. Big hoppy aroma. Lots of pine and citrus. Nice bitterness, but well balanced. Brought home a growler and drank it quite easily. Very pleasant dry bitter finish. kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 12/03/2006
