Commercial Description:
Deep golden in color and full-bodied flavor. The real story behind this beer though, is the bitterness, aroma, and flavor from Washington States finest hops, and we use a lot of them-Hopheads rejoice!

Relatively bright amber colour. Slightly piney, passionfruity with popcorn malt character. Slightly faded hops...oxidation gets a little metallic.

Pours a clear bright copper with a thick, frothy, well-lacing white head. Aroma boasts nice piney western hoppiness and a touch of caramel malt. Body starts with a hint of sweetness turning more dry and citrusy toward a crisp bittersweet finish. Well-balanced, enjoyable and drinkable, but could be more intense without being an imperial IPA.

On tap at the Backcountry Brew Pub. Poured a medium and clear amber color with a very small sized off white head. Aromas of floral, citrus, and light pine. Tastes of pine, light caramel, and citrus. Lighter bitter finish.

Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is light amber. Aroma is moderately hoppy (resin, pine), lighty malty (toasted grain). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Passable. Not exactly bursting with flavor though.

on tap-pours a thin off white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is nice citrus (cascade) hops, secondary malt. Taste is nice sweet grapefruit/citrus (cascade) hops-some bitterness/pine, secondary malt. OK/mild carbonation.
