3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
I have been drinking a lot of IPAs as of late, and there wasnt anything here that really stood out. A good example, decent hops, nothing overally great though, nice average ipa
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
finally had this on draught. color is hazy golden. aroma is moderate citrus hoppiness. taste is much more potent hoppiness which is citric and pineapple in nature. there is just enough sweet malt to back it up. the finish is nice dry citrus. very solid ipa i could enjoy this all day during the summer.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours golden amber, nice head. Aroma is piney, but one dimensional. Flavor is more of the same, thought not a bad malt profile, for an IPA. Drinkable, and well balanced, if a bit simple.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nice hazy gold pour. Floral aroma, decent lacing. Great flavor to this one, hops dominate, but it has hints of floral, citrus, malt. very nice!
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Avg. White head (mostly dissapating) that leads into murky golden color; tiny particles present. Great lacing. Aroma of perfume, spruce, and pine. Flavor; initially a touch of bitter with sweet and finishes with only slight more bitterness. Medium finish duration. Dry texture. Light to medium body. Soft carbonation. Different than any IPA I have ever had, but still a good flavor (quality).
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
sweet malty aroma, pours dark-orange and very fizzy.
very fragrant and tastes very similar to how it smells. finishes with an astringent flavor in accordance with its hops contents.
tastes very good and i can see myself buying much more in the future. S rating.

UPDATED: NOV 19, 2007 In a world of larger than life IPAs, this dry and crisp Portlander is a consistent and more than qualpable stand by. Still bottle conditioned and as flavorful as ever, this is arguably the quintessential American IPA. Poured a burnished copper body with a nice medium-sized white head and appealing lacing. Grapefruit hops that were well balanced with the choice malt selection. Finished extremely clean and satisfying. Awesome brew!
