Whorst (10), Huntington Beach, California, USA Sep 5, 2008 Unusual, and off balance. The malts don’t work for me. There’s an astringent, charcoal like bitterness that I can’t stand. tangentrider (144), USA Sep 4, 2008 Amber beer with an off-white head. Aroma is faint grapefruit. Flavor is roasted malt and grapefruit bitterness. Finish is bitter. Good IPA. hughie (3019), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Aug 30, 2008 Bottle from BSF Bar, GBBF ’08. Amber with a small off white head. Aroma was initially grapefruit, later revealing sweet malts. Piney hop and malt taste in which creamy, buttery sweetness blends with sharp bitterness. Beautiful. wcampbell (572), Central, South Carolina, USA Aug 27, 2008 Good. Pretty strong caramel malt presence. Pretty bitter citrus hop flavor with a lingering bitter finish. Some alcohol taste comes through. Lightly carbonated and very drinkable. Thick mouthfeel for an IPA. BillKismet (1901), Seattle, Washington, USA Aug 26, 2008 Picture perfect salmon-tinged amber pint with ample tan head of foam and fluff. Enjoyable citrusy and fruit punch burst in the nostrils along with some mild hop resin. Starts easy on the palate, but then raw, leafy hop notes and moderate to strong bitterness takes the stage. Resilient btter-sour twang on the back of the palate. I would conjecture there is a healthy dose of Chinook hops in this one. DonKi11uminati (43), , Indiana, USA Aug 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear amber with a nice frothy head and good lacing. Aroma is floral with citrus and hops, and inviting. Palate is light to medium with little carbonation. Hops and floral notes shine through in the flavor with some noticeable malt. Clear and clean flavors finish with lingering medium bitter hops. This is an enjoyable and refreshing beer. TapMaster (16), , California, USA Aug 22, 2008 Nice head, was there to the last sip , heavy lacing all the way down the glass , light to no carbonation, amber color, flavour of orange , I really enjoyed it. Missed this one on my last trip to Oregon. Would drink again BiddleBrau (303), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Aug 21, 2008 Amber with faint white head. Citrus floral aroma. Hop flavor is citrus and pine with slight malt undertone.
