Oct 21, 2008 12 oz bottle Dark amber color, with almost no head. A murky brown glass of beer. Smell is sharp, with sugar and hops. Caramel? Tingly with hoppy bitterness. Mello and crisp lingering flavor in the mouth. Not the big sweet explosion at all. Not too sticky in the back. The head on my beer seems like the previous reviewer had a completely different brew. My glass is clean. Fine beer, but not special IMO.

Oct 19, 2008 A nice surprise. Overall an excellent IPA and one of my favorite Oregon beers. Pours a nice amber color with a thick, off-white head. Lots of caramel and hops. Mouthfeel is very creamy and smooth. Fantastic lacing: was able to get the entire glass coated in one continuous white fluff like a perfect pint of Guinness. Hops is of course the dominating taste but this IPA is also quite sweet from the crystal malts. Orange and grapefruit...I’m missing those flavors.

Oct 10, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of riversideAK. Pours a clear copper colo with a medium sized off white head that leaves nice lacing. The aroma is moderately sweet grapefruit citrus with some light piney hops as well. The flavor has a great deal of hop presence. Grapefruit and pine dominate in the mouth. What sweetness there might be is quickly overtaken with bitterness. There is not much malt backbone to speak of. Medium bodied, on the dry side, not especially complex. Its not that this is bad, just one dimensional.

Sep 27, 2008 Pours dark orange with a yellowish head. Poured with heavy carbonation. Aroma is of hops, slight citrus hints, and malt. The carbonation leaves the beer with a very creamy mouthfeel. Taste is of malts and banana, balanced by bitter hops. The sharp bitterness lingers on long after each sip.
