Jan 26, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Not much on the nose. Some weak hops and such. Flavor is pretty nice, lots of hops and malt sweetness, but absolutely no finish. Flavor just dies. But quite drinkable anyway.

Aug 21, 2006 Updated: Oct 9, 200712 oz bottle. Small head. beer is a ’not quite’ clear amber color. Nice pine, floral citrus aroma. Flavor starts with a vanilla sweet malt flavor, followed by citrus, and finishing with a lemony grapefruit hoppiness. Very nice bittersweet aftertaste (a little metallic) that lingers just long enough. Almost tastes bottle-conditioned, am surprised to find that it is not.This is a very good and balanced IPA. VERY UNDER-RATED!...

7/3/6/4/15 - 3.5.
pours a semi-clear yellow-orange, with a very thin head that doesn’t stick around for long, and some lacing.
smell of grapefruit, earth, some pine, some citrus, and caramel.
taste is a little creamy, slightly bitter, nice balance of hops and malts, some caramel, and just a little sweet, ends with a dryness on the back of the tongue, as it warms becomes less sweet and has more flavor.

Apr 5, 2006 Yet another new IPA surelly a sign Spring is here at last!.
Light, bright orange beer in appearance, with a handsome frothy/thick off white head.
Light piney hop aromas dominate, slight spicieness but very weak and subdued.
After the aroma the taste was a surprise, very hoppy and "tangy" on the first sip quite bitter, it begins to calm down near the end and in subsequent mouthfuls..begiuns to get a little too sweet in fact.
Quite a nice mouthfeel, not bad.
Not a really bad IPA but it plaes in comparison to Deschutes new release.
