billk (292), Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA Apr 20, 2005 Updated: Apr 29, 2005 Tap @ Murphy’s seafood & steakhouse in Boise. Clear amber/copper w off white seafoam head that fell fairly quick, good lace. Aroma is fresh hops, piney & citrusy w a touch of reefer essence & light/med roast malt. Flavor is clean, bright, fresh. Light/med roast malt w nice, fresh spicey hops. Into medium bodied w nice bitterness from start to finish. Nicely balanced. Not lacking complexity. There was a slight thin/watery on the mouthfeel but its fresh, clean flavor compensated. I could have inhaled a bucket of this.
DuffMan (2194), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Oct 22, 2008 GABF 2008. Dark amber gold (darker than the ZZ Hop), passionfruit cascade aroma. Lots of tropical fruit and citrus oil hop character, sweet malt takes a back seat. Long bitter finish, refreshing. DickDunnigan (23), Boise, Idaho, USA Feb 13, 2008 Growler from Ram/Parkcenter. Hazy orange color with a big off-white head. Fragrant hop aroma. Pungent bitter flavor, in a good way. Some mild malt taste, but mostly solid hoppy notes of citrus, good blend of bittering vs. flavor/aroma hops. Dry as a bone. This is a great IPA, good balance of all parts. I can’t get enough. (Too bad they raised their price for growlers, they used to charge $5, which was a steal!!) BuckeyeBoy (1259), Boise, Idaho, USA Oct 5, 2007 On tap at Boise Ram Pours out a cloudy amber topped with a nice off white cream head. Great floral hop aroma. A nice sweetness and malt along with that floral hops on the tast. A little bitter at the end pretty good. IPA jarspag (533), San Diego, California, USA Oct 5, 2007 Draft @ Ram. Standard, standard, standard. Nothing exciting about this IPA whatsoever, except its ease of drinkability. Extremely average. Sierra Nevada-esque. jake65 (1355), Meridian, Idaho, USA Oct 5, 2007 Draft @ Meridian Ram: Pours a cloudy orange with a large beige head and thick lacing. Nose of citrus and piney hops, some sweetness. Tastes rich with the citrus hops, florals, and a nice bit of maltiness. Good, solid IPA.
