Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy, pale orange body with a thin ring of white bubbles. Smell: A rather restrained aroma. Inhaling nasally like a coke-fiend yields notes of flowers, citrus, and spiced honey. Taste: Honeyish maltiness with a quick, though mild, burst of spice. Floral and citrus hop character. Medium bitterness. Finishes bitter and questionably watery. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. A tad bit watery, I must admit. Drinkability: Certainly not the best India Pale Ale rolling around out there.

On tap at the source in McMinnville, OR--Bright copper-amber body with a thin white head. Sticky, floral, grassy yet creamy hops. Finished creamy, clean and a little thin. Not much lingering hoppiness.

Draft at the brewpub as Chehalem Mountain IPA. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty and citrusy. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of grass from the hops, leading to a dry bitter finish where the grass sticks on the tongue.

Bottle: pours a yellow-orange with thick white head. Heavy pine aroma, some caramel malt. Flavor is extremely malty, caramel, lacking bitterness to totally round it out as a strong example for an IPA.
