4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
On draft at the Double Mountain brewery in Hood River around the corner from Full Sail. Very tasty and hoppy double/imperial style IPA. Crisp and spicy. These brewers have certainly done something right!

Tap in Portland at that pizza place. Great smell and pour. Good palate taste and medium hop taste. Not too aggressive but still a decent ipa. Would drink again.

On tap at Irving St Kitchen in pearl district, Portland.
Very impressive. Huge northwestern hops, moderate malt balance .
Yet another example of pacific northwest dominance in ipa’s worldwide.

On-Tap @ Bailey’s Taproom poured into Shaker glass.
Pours a clear medium orange and has a strong glowing quality with a slight off-white head that dissolves quickly into a wispy layer atop the glass. The aroma is citrus hop, grapefruit rind, and just overall resinous, sticky hops. The flavor is grapefruit, citrus forward with some toasted bread crust with a sweet bitter, slightly dry finish. Its light-medium bodied with mild carbonation. Highly sessionable overall and to me has become the quintessential PNW IPA.

On tap at brewery. Dark golden w/ small head. Big citrus aroma and taste. This is right up my alley with the mix of citrus hops and lightly balanced biscuit malt. Bitterness is almost a bit much, but not quite over the top. Love it.

Draft at the Double Mountain taproom in Hood River, OR on 7/20/07. Clear amber under an off white head with nice lace. Big aroma of fresh pine and citrus hops over a backdrop of toffee. Smooth medium body and a resiny dryness. Caramel maltiness opposite a citrus rind bitterness for some nice balance. The long dry finish is refreshing. The brewery calls it a regular IPA, but when I drank it, it seemed like an Imperial to me, and I see that is how it is classified here. Any way you look at it, this is a really good beer.

Had this on tap at Cornucopia while I was still living in Eugene... Pours beautiful hue of caramel orange amber, delicious hop bounty of a nose, this beer bares citrus fruit in hop format, incredible and outrageously refreshing, one of the best beers that I had this summer hands down, can’t recommend this ale enough!

An incredible IPA, bitter hops, a light body that still has a bite too it, and just plain good.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask. Nice gold color, white head. Aroma is mildly hoppy, orange peel, pale malt. Taste is a nice smooth hoppiness, light dried fruit. Cask IPA’s seemed to show very well.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at the BP. Hazy orange amber. Modest hoppy nose but plenty of flavor. Not so over the top and the menu suggests, but the flavos seem bqlanced and are pleasing. Lingering bitter is also moderate. Noce flavors and would be a regular of mine if avaliable.
