Commercial Description:
Pale orange, fruity hoppy and strong. A bold, unapologetically hoppy northwest-style IPA. Brewed with Pale, Munich and Crystal malts with a portion of sugar. Bittered and finished with Chinook, Centennial and whole flower Cascade hops all over the place.

extremely drinkable with luschious hop character. Fantastic hop nose. although based on the Big Time Scarlet Fire this IPA has morphed into its own unique beer. Excellent on cask!

Draught sample at brewery. Fresh and grassy with light herbal-fruity nose. Oh so aromatic with hoppy goodness. Light orange-caramel sweetness. Dull golden orange-amber with creamy lacing off-white head. Heavy watery body with soft carbonation. Big hops throughout. Fruity sweet and grapefruit and fresh grassy hops. Big bitter finish and bitter grain after. Huge IPA but good malt-bitter balance.

Nice piney hoppiness with citus, nice maltliness, and alcohol. Taste has a nice smooth hoppiness, light honey, nice sweetness. Solid IPA.

I like this better than most of Elysian’s IPA offerings. I’m not a huge fan of bitter, and this one is nicely balanced. It also starts off with a big floral hop hit, which I like.

Draft at the Elysian brewpub on Capitol Hill, Seattle on 7/11/07. Clear amber with a soft, frothy off white head and excellent lace. A nice fresh piney and citrus hop aroma is promising. Nice medium body and light carbonation with some notable resin. Light brown sugar backs up a very pleasing and an assertive but refreshing grapefruit rind bitterness in a long satisfying dry finish. Nicely crafted IPA worth having again.

Hazy amber with low head. Very woody nose - the centennial signature. Toasty, lightly chocolatey malts and lots of bitterness. Woody, lightly citric hop character. Assertive but balanced IPA that harkens to the mid 90s and does it really well.
