Draft at the brewpub. Pours a hazy orange color with a small off-white head. Has a malty hoppy pine needles aroma with hints of grapefruit. Sweetish malty hoppy piny and grapefruit flavor. Has a sweetish malty hoppy bitter finish.

On tap at the brewery. Pours amber with a soft white head. Maltier IPA, the hops gave balance but were softer then your typical NW IPA. I didn’t pick up much floral hop quality, maybe with the increase in hop prices they have stopped dry hopping.

Draft. A hazy dark golden beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as a lighter note of citrusy hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of grass and grapefruit from the hops, leading to a dry bitter and grassy finish.

This was actually suprisingly good. Most of their stuff ranges from good to mediocre, but this I really enjoyed. The nose has big fruity hop aromas, lots of citrus and an actual malt presence. Suprisingly bitter in the finish. Tasty and refreshing.

On tap at mickey finn’s. drk amber with thin head, aroma a little placid but pine, caramel, oak. good carbonation with just a shade of weight in the mouth. some edgy bitterness, some clash of citrus and resin & maybe the malt itself, having some presence. better than I expected

Sample at GABF 2007. Pours dark amber with a thin white head. Flavor is not unlike a strong glass of ice tea. Mild carbonation and a slight edge of fruitiness. Finishes with a pleasant lingering bitterness on the back of the tongue.
