Amber to red color, thin head. Soapy, pine (northwestern hops) with a trace of malt. It is a descent American IPA.

Jul 25, 2008 This is definitely a big blast of hops right in one’s mouth, but in a good way. This is one of the better examples of this style in my opinion. The usual IPA flavors are present and bold: Hops, grapefruit, and even a little fresh marijuana. No kidding. Overall a pleasure, even for the non-hophead such as myself.

Jul 25, 2008 Pours copper, white head. Taste is some caramel malt and hops. Grapefruit hops. Plenty of bitterness. Good.

Jul 23, 2008 Pours coppery dark straw color with off-white head. Nose is resiny hops, citrus fruit, white pepper. Tastes hoppy, resiny, with floral and lemongrassy notes. Medium palate heft and not a great deal of complexity. Still, a beer I’d stock the DLBF with.

Jul 21, 2008 Copper color with a medium head. Some grassy and pine hop aroma. Moderate to strong bitter flavor. Quite acidic. Not a bad IPA at all.

Jul 20, 2008 Pours golden with sizable white head. Aroma is very floral and grassy- lots of hop aroma. Flavor is orange citrus and grapefruit with lingering resinous bitterness. Some hints of malt in there as well. Though hop flavor and character are present, palate is lacking. A bit on the watery side with not enough body to complement its hoppy nature. Tastey, but not perfect.
