CapnCascade (33), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jul 11, 2008 Hazy copper pour, light white head with some retention. Aroma pretty evenly balanced between dry-hebal and piney-floral, definitely high-alpha hops in shameless quantities. Flavor is a touch on the grassy side for me but is quite palatable all the same, if perhaps not in vast quantities. Very pleasant mouthfeel. Worth having again. brianprentiss (385), Mountain View, California, USA Jul 10, 2008 somewhat piney and fruity, great smell but a bit too woody for me.
bottle from whole foods mountain view. thooper41 (205), USA Jul 3, 2008 12oz bottle: pours an amber brown with quick fading off white head, aroma is filled with citrus style hops, flavor is like a mild DFH 90 min IPA, very complex hop flavor. i wasnt expecting much from this beer but its pretty damn good. only change i would make is add a little more malt. gotohelunc (325), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Jun 26, 2008 Bottle. Clear orange color, minimal head. Mild hoppy aroma with some banana. Citrus hops and little else. Not a bad flavor, but pretty watery. Peppery finish. ABUSEDGOAT (1868), California, USA Jun 17, 2008 Wasn’t sure what to expect from this. All organic IPAs/APAs have a very similar and bland hop profile. But on the other hand, I have liked the 2 other offerings I’ve had from the brewer. Amber colored, moderate head, decent lacing and retention. Surprisingly grapefruity nose, notes of citrus and pine, some caramel. Lighter bodied for the style, but not light. Moderate to high bitterness, solid hop flavors. Not great, but better than almost any other organic IPA/APA I can think of.
