3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Not sure if this is the right beer, but I will investigate further. This was a Dry Hopped version for the Brouwer’s WA Beer Fest.
12oz draft Brouwer’s. Golden and a touch of haze with sticky crystallized looking lacing. Nose is slightly dank and doughy. Sharp and clean flavor. Very sharp and smooth, very well made and I would drink multiples of these.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma of floral hops, pine, and grapefruit with a faint biscuity/caramel malt thing too. Pours a light golden tone with a great lasting head and sticky lacing. Lots of hops. Citrus, pine, perfume. Lots of resins linger for a while. There was not really any malt except for a faint sweetness. Thin body, but lots of hops, and I like hops so I can’t complain. Long lingering bitterness on this one. I liked it.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Has a light hop aroma. Lots of bittering hops in the flavor and finish and that is the main detraction. Really needs some floral or citrus hops to complement it.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: APR 30, 2011 very below average ipa. nothing really to like about this one, the hops were just sour rather than bitter.
re:rate 2011. much better this time around. much more complex and yet easy to drink.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Full amber w. orangish tint and a head that rests nicely. Little hop aroma. Medium-bodied, with easy hop flavor of perhaps Cascades and rounded by Northern Brewer. An easy drinking I.P.A.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at TCBF, pours hazy golden. Aroma and flavour of dried fruits, hops and a malty backbone. Nothing special.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at Engine House #9 in Tacoma, WA--Poured a murky chestnut amber body (slightly orange) with a thin wimpy whitish head. Big citrus pine nose with some caramel maltiness. Very dull and sharp with booziness. Lacking complexities. Thin body outside of hops. Eh.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught @ Brew Pub Tacoma.
Bittering hops and alcohol. Needs something more in the profile to flesh it out.
