4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20On tap at the Taphouse Grill. Pours yellow-orange with a white head. Aroma has fresh fruit, grassy hops and citrus. Perhaps a hint of maltiness buried. Taste is of sweet fresh fruit (mango and melons), citrus and pine. Very hop forward and tasty. Finishes very bitter but with some underlying sweetness for a smidge of balance. Very tasty NW IPA.

Solid well balanced IPA -- Lucille from Georgetown in Seattle. Good malt base with fresh hop flavor, including citrus and floral notes. Just the right amount of bitterness. Well rounded!

Very good combination of hops here - probably my favorite three. And this beer executes on it.

Tap: Murky copper color with a small bubbly ring head. Super hoppy aroma full of citrusy notes, grapefruit and grass. A little zing in the aftertaste. Solid NW IPA!

Super-solid, super-delicious IPA. Crisp and clean. Bold yet balanced and incredibly easy to quaff. Bursting with aromas (citrusy and floral). Grapefruit flavors. Snappy nips of hop bitterness and lemon, but nothing overwhelming; just the right amount. Wonderful IPA. Wish it were bottled.

On tap at Sharp’s Roast House. Taste is bitter hops, grapefruit, booze and pine. Excellent balance and solid IPA.

I find it to be the best IPA in the Seattle area! It has excellent, strong hoppy flavor, light on the malt. It has a nice caramel color and hoppy, citrus aroma; and it doesn’t have "what I call" the "funny IPA aftertaste." A good solid beer!

Draught at Mckay’s Taphouse, Bellingham
Cloudy amber color, with creamy head. Nice aroma of resiny and fruity hops, some earthy character. Good malt and toffee flavor, with strong earthy character, malt, caramel, manure; the hop is mainly earthy, with moderate fruitiness; there is a light residual sweetness; and strong bitterness.
Straight IPA, good.

UPDATED: FEB 15, 2013 Serving: from tap at Via Tribunali.
Aroma: heavily piney-hoppy.
Appearance: average-sized, creamy, off-white, initial head with fully diminishing longevity and fair lacing. Hazy, amber-hued body.
Taste: moderately bitter initial taste with moderately bitter finish and long duration.
Palate: medium to full-bodied with dry texture and soft carbonation.
Overall: very good, not harshly hoppy, but a bit too hoppy for my taste.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy orange-gold colored body with a finger-width, creamy and frothy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is really nice and pops with citrus pines and florals. A touch of spice to the hops as well with a somewhat grainy, lightly sweetened malt backing. Flavor is similar. Lots of citrus pines and florals with some resins and a light spiciness. Lightly sweetened, somewhat grainy pale malt backing with just a touch of caramel. Finishes dry and bitter, but balanced with lots of juicy citruses. Lengthy aftertaste following a medium body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a damn good IPA and by far the best that I’ve tried on my Portland/Seattle trip so far. Tons of juicy citruses with a nice pine spice and floral bitterness without any sticky caramels. Very tasty and well done.
