savnac (1365) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - JUN 26, 2011
On tap @ Bend Brewing Co. Hazy orange with a white head. Aroma of orange zest, flowers and pine resin. Flavor is lots of bitter hops and a light caramel malt sweetness. Medium to light in body with a dry, bitter finish. This is an above average IPA with lots of great hop character and a clean finish. Great beer.

PJClarke (1407) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JUN 12, 2011
Had this at the Horse Brass blind IPA tasting, Portland, OR - Orange. A very soft, leafy aroma with a little lime and kiwi amongst a hint of malt. Very malty like an English IPA or golden ale. Dry in a summery hay or straw way. Middling.
