Lots of hops, which does a pretty good job here. Amber color and a whiteish head. Maybe their best brew.

Very hoppy nose - big white head atop a cloudy yellow body. BIg biscuity malt backone with very floral hops. Pretty dry and very well balanced. Somewhat citrusy. Fantastic IPA.

Sample at the Brew Pub in Bend. This was my favorite among all those sampled. Pours orange with typical white head. Traditional fruity, cascade style hops, and a decent bitter finish. True to the style. An easy drinker for IPA fans.

On tap at Bend Brewing’s Brew Pub on Mirror Pond in Bend, Oregon--Poured a hazy orange-amber body with a soft creamy whitish head. Gentle, piquant, floral hoppy nose with a slight biscuit malt flavor. Crisp, flowery, hoppy with a great bitter finish. Excellent beer!
