3.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Sampled from bottle. Pours hazy orange with a creamy white head and thick lacing. Aroma is very pleasant with hard candy and floral, citrus and pine hops. Flavor is nicely bitter with a good bready malt base and more pine and floral hops that were found in the aroma addition. Medium-bodied, moderately carbonated and very easy to drink. Somehow, a bit sweet in the finish, but still, I appreciate the malt presence in this style.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
hoppy but not too intriguing nose. Pour is cloudy orange with a small fine head that dissipates quickly leaving small spotty lacing. flavor is a little lackluster. Pretty watery on the front. Probably not as big on the malt side as most IPAS. The flavor is pretty weak, could pass better as a APA. Really not a bad beer but I’m looking for a lot more depth from this style of beer. Not bad, not really good.
Cheers!

UPDATED: JUN 25, 2011 A freebee for the cheapster. Sweet and almost fruity perfumy aroma. Nice cloudy darkish beige color. Swirling hypnotizing pour, from the gunk on the bottom of this bottle. Rocky head. Bitter preservative taste, difficult on the enjoyability scale for me, but certainly within the style. Has some decent carbonation that comes across as malty at times on the palate. Finish is bitter hoppy preservative medicine.

12oz bottle from BevMo. Lightly hazed, burnt orange color. The head on this beer was small and off white. Lots of grapefruit on the nose, a slightly bitter, crisp finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft Flying Saucer. Decent off-white head. Light amber in color. Light in the malt department and a decent mild hops outdoing the malt. Makes for a good crisp bitterness with hints of grapefruit and other citrus. Not much pine IMHO. A good refreshing light IPA.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Made in Oregon store in the Portland, OR airport. Medium sized off-white head that was frothy and semi-fizzy, next to no lacing, very little carbonation observed, and a golden hue. Nose was hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, and pine. Ditto for the flavor with a hint of malt. Smooth mouthfeel and medium body. A quaffable IPA that has a good flavor and one that I do not consider to be over-the-top hops. Worthy of a try IMO.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Light tan color with slight chill-haze. Small floral aroma. Flavor dominated by citrusy Northwest hops. Not quite enough malt backbone to keep up with the bitterness. All around, very smooth and drinkable.

June 2006 - Beer pours orangey color, little to no head, tons of sedimentation suspended in the beer. The aroma was citrusy with a side of dirty feet, unpleasant. The mouthfeel on this one was nice and smooth and the flavor was well done. Citrus dominates the flavor with some grapefruit and orange with a tart finish. Some pepper...sweet and bitter, but not overdone with bitterness. I wish it didn’t smell and taste a tad like feet, though, or it would have scored a lot better.
