Jun 23, 2008 Bottle bought in Jackson, Wyoming. Pours a clear amber with a medium white head that dies down. The aroma is tons of malt and some floral and citrus hops. The taste is quite bitter, hops mixed with a rich caramel and smooth malt. Very nice finish that is sweet and lingers bitterness on your palate. A very enjoyable IPA.

Jun 22, 2008 Amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is a caramel maltiness with a subdued northwest hoppy character. Taste is an initial sweetness followed by the maltiness, and a slight almond like character.

Jun 13, 2008 Absolutely beautiful looking beer. Pours a dark, cloudy crimson, with a respectable head. Aroma is typical of NW IPAs. Flavor is heavilly hoppy and way too bitter for my tongue. Palate is slightly fizzy, and really dry. Overall this one isn’t my cup of tea.

Jun 13, 2008 Bottle from Beerfest at Sudwerk in Davis, CA. It reminded me of one of my favorite IPAs: Green Flash. Very fruity, hoppy and bitter. I was pleasantly surprised.

Jun 10, 2008 Bottle. Pours a coppery amber color with a fairly thin tan head. The aroma is wonderful, with pine predominating, but hops and citrus are also present. The flavor is hoppy with serious citrus overtones and a nice balance of malt. It has a nice "bright" flavor that is crisp and defined. Man oh man, this is good stuff, but you’ll really want to appreciate a hoppy brew to really enjoy it best. I’d like to pair this brew with pulled pork (with deep smoke flavor, of course), grilled corn on the cob and mustard potato salad.

Jun 9, 2008 Bottle. Slight floral and citrus aroma. Poured a burnt orange color with a slight white head. Great complexity and progression of flavors as I sipped it. Starts off with some malty flavor and a little grapefruit, and then gets more grapefruity, and finishes with a bitter aftertaste. Low level of carbination which for me is a good thing. Goes down very smooth for an IPA, and yet plenty of complexity and bitterness here. Really liked this.

Jun 8, 2008 Just as the commercial description states "over-the-top nose with hints of orange and grapefruit". The taste is very malty going down and then bitter on the finish. This is a great IPA. My only complaint is the pithy aftertaste; but you only taste that if you wait too long until the next sip.
