Oct 9, 2007 Bottle. Body-medium honey with a thin ring of bubbles and a thin loose head that fades into a thin film of bubbles. Nose-watered down grapefruit juice, light sewer gas, Sulphur. Taste-salty, medium to high bitterness, very stale bitter hops, medium hop flavor, highCO2, bitter on the back end. Tastes exactly like Alka-Seltzer with hops added. Not bad, but reminds me way too much of Alka-Seltzer.

Oct 9, 2007 Solid example of the style; I’m reminded quite a bit of DFH’s 60-minute. More emphasis on sweetness (honeyish) than your usual IPA.

Sep 25, 2007 9/23/07 On draught at Fremont Oktoberfest, Seattle. Aroma is an even blend of malt, grass and presumably cascade hops. Appearance is clear gold with a low off-white head. Flavor is definitely more hop forward with good earthy bittering and a solid sweet malt background. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a medium/high carb texture. Overall, just needs a bit better blending in the flavors, but I could see this being attractive to hop heads.

Sep 22, 2007 I had this beer at the Portland beer festival a few years ago before it was put into mainstream production and it was just as great then as it is now. Definately a IPA worth trying.

Sep 16, 2007 Bottle. Poured a straw color with a moderate dense white head. Light grassy hop aroma, not very strong. Hop flavor is moderately floral and grassy with some sweetness to it. The finish has a decent hop tingle to it, but falls short of satisfying. Very drinkable, but overall lacking in the hop department.

Sep 13, 2007 Poured a nice frothy head reminiscent of egg whites. Aroma was nice hops and pine. Color appeared yellowish golden, with a hazy appearance. Initial flavor is a medicinal bitterness that finishes clean. Overall I enjoyed the aroma immensely, but couldn’t get over the bitterness. Probably would not purchase again. I’ve had better IPAs.

Sep 8, 2007 Poured a hazed copper hue with nice boisterous white head. Nose of bright grapefuity hops. Slightly sweet and somewhat bitter. Pretty average all around, but the hops blending is very nice.
