Commercial Description:
A traditional India Pale Ale, light bodied, golden-amber in color with an intense hop aroma produced by dry-hopping during fermentation. A very tasty ale with little bitter aftertaste which makes it great on a hot day.

Sampled on draft at Vinos. Pours copper with a lasting, thin white head and attractive lacing. Aroma is mild malt and aromatic American hops. Well-hopped with caramelized malts in the flavor. Medium-full body and moderately carbonated. A very drinkable IPA.

Draught. Pours amber with ruby highlights and a patchy off-white head. Fragrant floral and citrus hop, caramel malt (meal) aroma with trace yeast. Moderate to heavily bitter, medium acidic citrus rind hop lingering flavor, low sweetness. Medium bodied and fizzy, crisp, somewhat dry palate.

Draught @ brewery: This one pours a cloudy orangish amber color. There was a nice off-white head on it. There was a fair amount of lacing to go along with it. There was a bit of a piney hop nose, but it wasn’t too strong. The taste is somewhat piney, but not overpoweringly strong. Nicely balanced malts and hops. A decent IPA.

Copper colour with a slight haze. Hints of floral and citrusy hops along with toasty malt in the aroma. The strange yuzu taste of Horizon hops dominates the character of this beer, making it fruity and refreshing, but this hop character doesn’t really appeal to me personally. Fairly low bitterness for style. Good balance, just not to my taste.

GABF 2005: Again, not really my style but, I had to try different things. Normal hops aroma but, a bit lighter than others. Taste was pretty hoppy which is what killed me.

Looks just like their IIPA but a touch lighter. Big cascade hop aroma very simple and clean. Light palate some oily coating. Big dry hop taste citrus/grass/grapefruit, no real malts. A very basic IPA but not bad.

(GABF05) Clear apple juice body with white head. Aroma is medium sweet, some pine/grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, pine, some grapefruit. Light-medium body. A milder sort of IPA, no surprise given the market.

(draught) Deep amber with off white head. Hops aroma. Flavor is full of piney hops with hints of grapefruit. Very good IPA. I’ll go back for this one.
