4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
From growler. Thanks Shawn and Tammi! Pours transparent orange/amber with large white frothy head that lasts awhile. Lightly carbonated, a few bubbles apparent. Aroma is delicious pine, citrus, resin, fruity hops, even getting some apple here. Fantastic bouquet of a traditional west-coast style IPA. Gives me goosebumps. A little light on mouth feel, but with a deliciously long, seriously bitter finish. True to style. Spectacular. I wish I got back to this tiny town more often. This is a stunning brew from a gifted brewmaster. Visit the town, just for the brewpub, and you will not be let down.

Growler... Poured golden, pale orange with a white head. Floral, big time hoppy nose. Like a hop farm in my cup. Mildly resinous, citrus and pine-like hop flavors. Full body with decent amount of carbonation. Grassy, earrhy finish.

Nice resin and citrus hop aroma that hits first with a bit of sweet caramel malt backbone. Medium gold, mostly clear with a barely off white head that is fairly persistent. Medium resiny and grapefruit bitterness with a medium caramel sweetness to balance. Balanced but leans toward bitter on attack with a nice marriage in the middle and a slightly astringent and a touch dry lengthy finish. Medium body, sticky texture, moderate carbonation. A really nice IPA from the brewpub that just took gold at the GABF for their Turmoil in the American India Black Ale category.

From a Growler @ Brewforia - Thanks man!! - Pours clear and golden with a very small white head...aroma is so hop sticky that I was amazed, sweet hop cone syrup, fresh pine, caramel and fresh hop flowers...flavour was similar, immediate pine pitch and citrus pith, grapefruit peel and sweet light malt, sharp hop bite that vanishes as quickly as it came...this was some surprise!!

On tap at BB’s in Baker City, OR--Amber-golden body, slightly orange with a bold bitter and flowery hoppy presence. Rich mildly cloying thick hop profile. Finished crisp and assaults the palate with residual bold bitterness.

Courtesy of jayg. Thanks buddy. Pours clear gold with thin white head. The aroma has a quick punch of grapefruit hops that is sweetened by maltiness. In the flavor the grapefruit hop bitterness hits first. Slowly malt sweetness builds in against the hops toward about midway. As the finish approaches the bitterness re-doubles in strength. There is a hint of sweeter grapefruit hop flavor here and there.
