Jun 28, 2008 ~Pours golden clear with lots of carbonation and thick foamy white head. nice lacing.
~Nice sweet hoppy aroma. Grapefruit hop and sweet malty scent. Mouth watering.
~Light grapefruit taste, good amount of grassy hop flavor and a delicious amount of sweeness.
~Medium feel, a bit sticky, acidic bitter finish.
~Mmmm delicious IPA. One of my favorites. I enjoy the sweetness. Helps balance out the strong bitterness.

Jun 28, 2008 golden yellow pour with a slight orange tint - smells like a bucket of fresh hops - tastes like liquid hop flowers with a slight malty taste in the background. I think that this is pretty close to a one-dimensional hop bomb though. It would be nice to have this as an imperial IPA to get that rich malty backbone in the flavor profile.

Jun 27, 2008 Updated: Sep 11, 2009Picked up a bomber of this at Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, VA and am I glad I did. Orange colored, pours with a nice off-white head and a little bit of retention. Aroma is wonderful, floral with loads of pine needles and hops. The flavor follows suit, citrusy with a blast of pine needles and hops up front. Crisp and bitter in the finish. There’s a syrupy malt base that is noticed more as the beer warms a little. This is terrific stuff and a true top notch IPA. Re-rate, a little more malt than I remember and not quite as in your face with the hops. Still a good IPA.

Jun 26, 2008 A dense, one-finger head topped a hazy, goldish-coppery body — OK considering it’s bottle-conditioned. Piney and citrus hops dominated the aroma, and figured large in the flavour, but this is no one-dimensional hop bomb. Grapefruity Cascade hops leave little doubt this is a northwest IPA, but there’s a nice caramel malt flavour to balance and a lingering dry finish.

Jun 26, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a nice copper color with a good deal of floaties. Thin, white head. Decent bit of lacing. Really nice citrus hop aroma. Flavor is a bit of caramel malt with a ton of citrus hops. Long, lightly bitter finish. Really nice beer.

Jun 24, 2008 light amber pour, thick frothy off white head. Citrusy hop aroma. Very aromatic. Mouthfeel is pleasant, very smooth. hops are strong but not overpowering. Very drinkable and well ballanced. Notes of citrus at the end, grapefruit. Delectable.
