3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 cbeers21 (693) - Miami, Florida, USA - AUG 21, 2008
golden orange with whispy, pillowy head which quickly fades leaving a lasting ring on the glass. Piney aromas, citrusy grapefruits and pineapple are strong scents. A bittering hop flavor profile features dusty piney touches which gradually yield to a fruited slightly burnt maltiness. Slightly watery body provides relief and allows for an easy drinkability. Not overly complex or supremely balanced, but a solid brew for sure.

On tap everywhere in Portland.
Great IPA! Very balanced. Beautiful aroma! Never fails to impress! You can find this almost anywhere and it’s a great representation of a Northwest IPA.

Pours a deep, thick gold color with an off white head. Heavy floral and pine hops in the aroma. Taste is hoppy, sweet, and citrusy. I really enjoyed this beer, and it is a very good IPA.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Gypsy19 (728) - California, USA - JUL 25, 2008
A tasty, crisp IPA with peach and hop aroma and moreso in flavor, plus grapefruit. A very well-balanced IPA, in my opinion. Recommended.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 mcc5468 (119) - USA - JUL 18, 2008
Bottle. Slight head on the pour. Color is very hazy golden - almost looks like a wheat. Slight hop citrus aroma. Clean hop taste, pine accents. Carbonation is there. Seems like a pretty good beer. Not the best IPA I have tasted but not the worst. Could be a pretty good session beer which is suprsing for an IPA. Pretty good beer but not indicative of an IPA or I should say for the US interpretation of the style. Kind of light in all departments , but again, a good sesssion beer

12 oz bottle. Pours a light golden/amber color with a decent white head that falls down to a nice lacing ring. Very citrus nose with a slight pine note. Very smooth almost creamy texture filled with citrus and pine flavors to match the nose. Nice little bitter hit at the end, not a lot but not a ton. Maybe a little more bitterness would be nice being as it’s an IPA. Overall a very solid, nice beer. I’ll have another please!
