Big Time IPA Festival – Seattle Beer Week 2010
Amber in color, thin head with a nice IPA aroma. Lots of fruit like hops flavors not super bitter this was a great IPA in my opinion.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a copper color with a small white head. The aroma is great hoppy bursts; citrus and pine and huge fruity notes. The flavor is similar; rich fruity hops, aggressive, not really bitter but over the top fruitiness. Very good.

draft at big time. pours crystal clear light amber with a loose tan head. big tangy fruity nose, lots of orange and grapefruit. creamy medium body with lively carb. caramel, orange, grapefruit, long orange peel and orange juice finish.

On cask at Big Time. Nose if full of sweet tropical fruits, leafy floral hops, a little dank, and pepper. Underneath sweetness helps perpetuate the fruity nose. Nice. Pours golden orange, lasting frothy head, a little hazy. The flavor starts with tropical fruit, has some hints of apricot, pale malts, floral/leafy bitterness, and a peppery bite in the finish. Somewhat chewy lingering bitterness and some light residual sugars. Really solid beer from Big Time.
