Jan 2, 2007 Soapy white head and clear amber-gold body. Aroma of citrus, tea like malt and light sulfurous notes. Medium sweet, lightly toasted caramel flavors with tame bitterness and mild cleansing acidity. Passable beer, but very subdued for an IPA. More like a standard pale ale.

Dec 29, 2006 Grabbed off the shelf in Oregon knowing nothing about this one. Was way surprised with it! I’m a big IPA fan and this one pours transparent amber/copper with a medium head. Delicious apricot floral and pine bouquet, sweeter, fruitier tones than some IPAs. Enticing! Found the first sip to be surprisingly crisp and fruity with a nice long bitter finish -- exquisite. Not overwhelmed with acohol flavor or syrupy sweet malts -- pretty darn exceptional for a session IPA in my opinion. Light, gulpable, but true to the style (at the Cascade hop varieties). Try it -- you will like it. 6% alcohol.

Dec 23, 2006 Im down to session this beer. Crisp IPA, the best Widmer offers in my opinion. But then again, many far better IPA’s are found. Could be hoppier

Dec 17, 2006 Aroma of pine and citrus hop. Decent amber color with a substantial white head that laces a bit. Starts with smooth piney hop. Malt isn’t in it. Very firm mouthfeel. The finish is lightly pine, with some grapefruit popping up. It’s not harsh like some IPAs. Perhaps for that reason it is being underrated.

Dec 11, 2006 Bottle. Nice golden/yellow pour that is a bit hazy with a small white head. Hop and citrus aromas with a crisp spice, hoppy flavor with a hint of malt. Wish it was distributed more here (soon).

Nov 29, 2006 Updated: Jan 2, 2007Very decent IPA - Lots of hop flavor mixed with various citrus notes. Solid bitterness throughout the drink. A little too thin thin thin
Pretty enjoyable.

Nov 21, 2006 Bottled. Pours a bright abmer with a thin white head. Plenty of pine and bit of flowers on the nose but I’m not picking up much in the way of citrus. More pine in the taste, and the promised citrus. Seems a bit one dimensional.

Nov 15, 2006 Clear golden honey appearance with a decent film of a white head with some sticky lacing. Crisp and peppery on the tongue, spicy and lively, but not really the right IPA for me, lacking juiciness, lacking that dank grassy and juicy character that I really like. Still, not a terrible IPA, but there’s some bland metallic notes that are pretty annoying. Finishes fairly bland and empty. Starts well, doesn’t end well.
