Hazy yellow lacing with pillowy white yellow. Slight vegetal note in the nose. Palate is creamy with a citrus finish. Not overly bitter. Has many similar notes to a wit. Different for an IPA, in a good way. Easier drinking.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sample at Hale’s in Seattle. The beer pours a hazy golden-amber color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, citrus and sweet malt. Medium body with a moderately bitter citrus hops character and notes of grainy malt in the background. The finish is fruity with a lingering hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

Looks like a hefe, just not quite meaty enough for an IPA. Not bad but nothing to buy again

Cask at GBBF 2011. Golden color. Tropical fruity aroma with mango, lemon and some fruity tartness. Very grapefruity flavor with lemon and fresh maltiness in the background. Finish is a bit soapy and bitter in a hard kind of way, otherwise this is nice IPA.

UPDATED: SEP 21, 2012 draft. orange body. syrupy, chewy, medium-full bodied. resinous & highly bitter; rough / minerallic malt with light powdered yeast character. citrus / orange / tangerine hop and ester profile; medium sweetness; medium acid. well-made but pretty uninteresting and dull relative to the hop-focused beers available in the northwest.

GBBF. Cask. Hazy gold beer, tidy off white head. Light dry palate. Nice hops. Pine, grass and a little tangerine and then a blooming aggressive grapefruit. Trace of tropical fruits before the bitter dry finish. Decent.
