Serve in Shaker, Tulip

650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours a translucent gold color with a big white head. The aroma is mildly hoppy with clean citrus notes. The flavor is a bit mild for an IPA (at least compared to the CA IPA’s). There is grapefruit, pine and caramel. The mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side at least to my expectations. The finish is long with lingering biter hops. Overall: Fairly ordinary IPA, not up to extreme session standards.

hazy orange, tiny bubbles ring the rim. nose of grapefruit, citrus, hops. slightyly bitter flavor, creamy tones. medium bodied, slightly bitter finish. not bad, just not exciting.

Pours a see through amber with a small fizzy head. Slight aroma of hops and malt, really a pretty weak aroma for a IPA. Taste of malt, and a slight hint of a hop and bitterness at the finish. Very watery mouthfeel. This was just okay for me.

2008 Bottle - Mild aroma, average citrus hop flavour, not all that good, but not terrible. For the price, there are many better IPA’s...

Pleasantly surprised, Poured on tap into a standard pint glass. Poured a bubbly sun yellow. Nose was of basic PNW hops. Taste was nice, slightly sweet but simple body, Tasted like it was just crystal 40 and carapils and then a handfull of hops. For a basic IPA its not too bad.

22 oz bomber, Keg N bottle, consumed July 9th. Pours as a firm golden blonde liquid with thin layer of film. The nose is moderately hopped but overall subdued and relaxed. Initial flavor is bitter with puny citrus and hop presence. Finishes with a metallic aftertaste and a bland first impression.

Bottle. Yellow-orange pour with a slight head that is not very sticky. Sweet nose upfront with an okay hop presence. Flavor is alright. Pretty smooth, but not much going on otherwise.

Nice dry hop aroma. Golden color. Dry hop taste carried through from the aroma.
