3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
I liked this beer, but it wasn’t as crazy wicked hoppy as I was perhaps expecting.
Definitely a golden orange beer with a fluffy head. The aroma is piney and some citrus as are the flavor.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sampled in a 22oz bottle. Pours deep brownish orange. A true IPA. Full of strong hops and soft malts. They really run out the flavor. Served this very cold but the aroma and hops really showed out of it. Great brew.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours hazy amber with a thin-medium beige head. The aroma is full of piny hops. The flavor follows that aroma, with plenty of pine resin, and a uniquely toasted malt foundation. Refreshing. Really nicely balanced.

3 oz. Taste @ Portland, Oregon Spring Beer & Wine Fest April 3rd, 2010. 7.5% ABV. 75 IBU’s. Clear bright rich gold color. Hot hoppy floral front. Tangy dry sweet thin caramel mild pine crusty body. Hot hop spice dry citrus end. Rich & Hoppy, but a touch out of balance. (3.5 / 5.0)
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sampled ( draught) at the SpringBeerFest in Portland. Bright brassy gold with a dense white cap. Citrus rind aroma, hints of spice. Hops deliver more herbal character in the palate, but there’s citrus and resin too. Interesting in a good way.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Aroma of I2PA quality, very resiny in aroma, flavor and mouthfeel. Good 1-finger head in a 14.9 conical. Can’t think of anything creative to say about this beer as I am not all hopped up on goofballs at the moment. Long story short: the thing that stands out here is the resin character.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Peppery floral earthy hop nose, hint of tea leaf. Amber golden pour thin head but lasting, nice sticky lace. Earthy leafy and peppery bitterness, a little resinous, malt bill is bready with hints of tea. Earthy decently bitter ipa. Drinks well.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Lush fresh green cascade hop aroma, caramel and a sticky white head with good lacing. clean caramel body, leafy dark hoppy juicy finish.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle capped and taped. Really nice orange amber with fairly nice white head. Light aroma floral hops. Upfront grassy bitterness that lingers through the finish.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at Woodshop 5.0 (2/20/10): Pours a transparent bright golden with a small ring of white bubbles. Has a fresh grapefruity piny nose with some lightly sweet pale malts. Starts with good fullness and grassy herbal hop bitterness before a smooth bittersweet crisp finish. A well balanced and very drinkable IPA.
