3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
nice hop aroma for the style, nice hop taste - fruity and a good cobination of hops, nice bitterness - not overdone but better for the style than the last IPA I tried (Flying Dog). Low carbonation (bottle conditioned). Overall a pretty good drink
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at the Public House, Port Townsend. Gorgeous orange body with a clean white head--picture-perfect. Fruity citrus nose. Easy drinking medium body with mild carb. Nice understated malt with some more fruit and pine for the finishing hop. Beautifully made, solidly conceived and very drinkable all-day IPA.

Bottled. A very good consistent IPA. I first had this at the brewhouse in Portland, now when it’s available here, I snag a 6. Nicely balanced and has that good mild bitterness I like in a single IPA. Me likey....!!

Draught at The Public House in Port Townsend. Poured a hazy amber/orange an off white head that produced some lace. Aromas of oranges, grapefruit, yeast with some malty notes. Body was medium with soft carbonation. Tasted grapefruit and malt sweetness with a resinous finish. A good example of the style.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cloudy, orange body with a smallish white head. Pleasantly hoppy and floral aroma with some herbs and a tiny bit of maltiness to it. A average, but decently made IPA overall. The flavor is very mild considering the bitterness I expect from a good IPA, and it is dry with a finish that doesn’t really stay with you.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from santa - bright orange pour with attractive lace - bready aroma, with an earthy, floral character - crisp and spicy, with a relatively low hop profile, yeasty quality and tang that one usually finds in the more traditional, British examples - nothing to rave about, but pretty solid.

From my home state, my brother hails this as one of the best IPA’s. I tend to agree even though I prefer less hoppy beers.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours with a nice brass color, foamy creamy head that lasts with good lace. Not overly hoppy for an American IPA. Nice body. Some lingering hop aftertaste. Not bad. Got this at a liqour store in Nashville and drinking the bottle out of water glass in my hotel room.
