Jun 8, 2008 Updated: Jun 9, 20082008 NABA. On draft. Pours a very interesting orange color with a small white head. The aroma was quite nice; mostly floral hops and light malts. The taste was really nice; a really good helping of Cascade hops, which was not really bitter, but very tasty and was balanced well by the malt presence. I have to say I really liked this beer, simple in some ways, but very well made.

Jun 3, 2008 Golden body, a white head. Hoppy and lemon aroma. Flavor is weak, bitter, with a little bit of citrus. Full for such a weak body.

May 19, 2008 At Savor. Nice try, but I thought this came off a little weak. The malt gimmick shows some ingenuity, but doesn’t add much. There is a decent hopping, but nothing giving it that zing. Drinkable, but not great.

May 17, 2008 Draft sample is clear amber. Has a crystalline sharp Cascade fruit nose, very bright and vibrant, but I think it lacks some depth, and is less pure and clean than I think a single-hop IPA should smell. Flavor is bitter, dry, catty, and overall it’s a very drinkable IPA but again, I think it falls short, and shows why the best IPAs in the world use hops as one would use colors in a painting. Still, it’s always interesting to try a single-hop and single-malt beer.
