Nov 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear copper with a medium creamy white head that lasts awhile leaving good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is strong floral hop with bubblegum and grapefruit. Thin mouthfeel with a piney grapfruit flavor with a dry finish. Easy to drink, a good IPA from Deschutes.

Nov 15, 2009 12 oz bottle. Clear copper/orange with a small off white head. Aroma is citrus, pine and sugary sweet caramel. The flavor is bitter up front with a sweetness that fades in and then finishes bitter. Medium body with average carbonation and a long dry finish. Great easy drinking IPA, the alcohol is well hidden. After a few this one can sneek up on you.

Nov 13, 2009 A: Poured with a beautiful large, white head, that exhibited excellent lacing in clumps and spiderweb patterns on the sides of the glass. Body is hazy and a perfect orange/red color... beautiful to look at.
S: Very nice aroma of heavy hops with pine, lemon and lime throughout. There’s also a hint of sweetness in the form of the malt (caramel, maybe?) that offers a slight tilt away from all hops.
T: Wow... a perfect balance of sweetness and hoppiness for an IPA, meaning that it is slightly sweet at the beginning, but ends with a high amount of hops and citrus for a nice, long duration.
M: Great on the palate as well, with a medium-full body, creamy texture, and average-soft carbonation.
D: One of my favorite IPAs... after doing a taste-test of 6-7 IPAs in a row, this was a perfect one to finish off with. Makes me ashamed to think of how it was only months ago that I avoided hoppy beers whenever possible, but extremely happy that I’ve finally turned around.

Oct 27, 2009 An amber colored beer with a small head. The aroma is a nice balance of malt & hops. The taste is the same as the aroma while noting this is not a hop bomb but a more balanced IPA between malt & hops that has a dry ending & good lacing.

Oct 24, 2009 12 oz. Bottle. Pours pale/amber and clear with little to no froth. Smells of citrus, resin and lemons. A moderate bitterness is present during the swallow, the finish is fizzy and thin but very tasteful. The perfect IPA, the taste is complex and diverse. High recommendation.
