Mar 30, 2009 Racer 5’s 1111th Rating: Simply put: one of the best IPA’s North America has to offer as far as flavor, hop profiling, and price. Dank hop candy right here.

Mar 28, 2009 Pours a nice golden light brown with about an inch of head. I want to say though that when I had this beer a couple of years ago for the first time I distinctly remember being able to almost chew the hops. I have to say that I think the hop shortage has hit bear republic a bit. Unless my palate as just drowned out super strong hop flavors. Still great though. Nice strong hop smell on the nose. Nice citrus that I want/love/need/desire from my west coast ipas. Great price though, very very reasonable.

Mar 28, 2009 Updated: Mar 30, 2009Pours a beautiful deep golden color, with great 3 finger head. smell is ridiculous, the aroma hit my nose before i could even finish pouring the beer. Smells of wonderful clean hops, and hops, and hops, and hops. Taste - Nice big hop flavor of the bat, which sweetness from the malt midway through, then finishing with a nice hop punch in the end, but the bitterness lingers a little but not uncomfortably long, its really nice. Just a bit of biscuit flavor in there also. Mouthfeel is really, really smooth.
Overall, this is an EXCELLENT IPA, would get this one again, and for $5 and some change a pretty good deal also.

Mar 26, 2009 On Tap at the Ginger man NYC. Very full bodied, with a great pour. Gave a nice head that lasted. The flavor was outstanding, nice amount of citrus on the grapefruit side. Bitter. Nice balance Long lasting finish. To bad it eventually goes away. I really liked this beer.

Mar 26, 2009 Poured hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma of orange and lemon. Citrus blend of flavors. Sweet.

Mar 25, 2009 Had it on tap at both the brewery and Rattle n Hum in NYC. Very definite contender for best PNW-style IPA that I’ve ever had. I don’t know how much more I can say.

Mar 24, 2009 Reddish-bronze color with a powdery head...delicious, almost a cooling effect on the tongue. Aroma of herbs, perhaps anise. Bitter and sweetness equally balanced. A great variation of a standard IPA. Hoppy like a double IPA but more herbal than fruity.
