Jul 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deeper yellow. Dont know why but I just expected than orange color like other west coast IPA’s. Great deep agressive hop nose. Taste doesnt disappoint either. Agressively hopped & extremely well balanced. Great IPA, big thanks to pbsmooth, from that other site we dont talk about

Jul 21, 2009 Small white head. Yellow body. Tropical fruit and strawy malty aroma. Dry-sweetish tropical fruit and chalk taste with citric notes. Mid-bodied. Smooth mouthfeel. Dry honey and resin aftertaste with wooden citric notes. Excellent drinkable IPA. (Oslo beer junta tasting. Need to rerate.)

Jul 19, 2009 Pours a deep yellow. Big pine, citrus and dank hops, sweet malt nose. Flavor is a very balanced and full bodied mixture of caramel malt, pine, grapefruit, resiny hop goodness and some lingering booze. Al around a super solid IPA. Wouldn’t expect anything less.

Jul 19, 2009 A - Beautiful clear yellow with a slight orange hue and one finger of magnificently white creamy head.
S - Citrus, floral, grapefruit, malty... Definitely west coast, this smell so good.
T - Fresh clean grapefruit, resiny, floral hops up front that is followed by a really well backboned malty sweetness. The finish is crisp and clean making me want more. Wonderfully balanced IPA, this is the most balanced IPA I’ve had, it’s absolutely delicious
M - Creamy, full bodies, medium carbonation... perfect.
D - Man this beer is delicious. This IPA is in my top 3. No way this is 7.25 ABV, I’m going to session this one and we’ll see what happens. :)

Jul 16, 2009 I have been wanting to try this one for awhile. Fresh bottle. Pours a clear golden yellow color with a good sized, foamy off white head that settles to a thin film. The aroma is very citrusy as I expected showing fresh oranges and grapefruits, bitter hops, and nice caramel malt base. The flavor follows suit with the fresh citrus hops, orange and grapefruit juice, and perfectly balanced by the sweet caramel malt backbone. A substantial mouthfeel that is very smooth with the right amount of carbonation leading to a citrusy bitter finish. This is a very tasty IPA, and I would expect nothing less from these guys.

Jul 15, 2009 22oz bottle. A nice hazy orange pour with a bubbly white head, decent lacing. Large orange citrus aroma with some pine. Flavor is big pine with grapefruit citrus undertones and some malt sweetness to balance it all out. This beer is greatly balanced and a real palate pleaser.

Jul 15, 2009 65 cl bottle at my garage-tasting May 8th. Dark golden color, fine white head. Aroma is every hophead´s dream; lovely citric and floral hops. Flavor is a lovely balance between hops and malty sweetness. Wow!

Jul 14, 2009 22 oz bottle. Dark orange with a very fluffy off white head, long lasting and leaves some lace as well. Big Northwest hop aroma of citrus, flowers, pine and a bit of caramel and bread. This beer has a great balance of sweet and bitter with a nice long bitter finish. Medium body and a slick mouth feel. This is one heck of an IPA, the best out there??? maybe not in my opinion but very good none the less.
