Apr 14, 2008 Draft at Yard House, Honolulu. PNW hops and some crystal malts in the nose, amber body, medium white head. Reasonably balanced WC IPA, nothing special here.

Apr 11, 2008 Poured a hazy amber with a one-finger head that stayed thick for a while. Typical IPA aroma, not as pungent as others, with orange and grapefruit evident. Well balanced taste that had a boost of hops after a second on the tongue. Some citrus flavors, but not overwhelming. Malts gave it a nice balance as caramels came through. Slightly resinous mouthfeel, but overall a complex and very enjoyable drink.

Apr 10, 2008 Bottled. Rich and c-hopped nose. A nice dry, pine rich, baby ass clean flavor...rounded out mouthfeel and lingering bitter finish. A nice - in between type of IPA...not too small, and nowhere near mind blowing. All-around, a pleasant and satisfying beer.

12oz bottle. Poured amber color with good size white head. Aroma has some caramel, toffee hints, and some grapefruit. This ale has a long bitter hop finish which lingers for awhile. Not bad, but there are better out there.

Apr 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with huge foamy head - nice lacing. Nose is sweet malt and citrus. Palate is a bit bitter upfront but mellows with malt and grapefruit before finishing with a piney bitter aftertaste. Medium mouth feel. Not bad really.

Mar 22, 2008 2008 Bottle - Citrus and pine aroma, the hops both smell and taste floral, a nice addition to this strong ale, finishes with a healthy orange/caramel kick. The main drawback for me was a coppery metallic flavor that stuck around, otherwise a decent brew...

Mar 5, 2008 Clear amber. Toffee and butterscotch aroma backed by mellow orange hops. Smells of British crystal malt. Toffee and orange flavor, super bitter. Not too bad. More like an amped up English IPA than a NW IPA. Summit hops?
