This was a tasty beer, although it’s not quite as hoppy as I would have expected for the style. The flavor is richly malty, only moderately hoppy, but definitely a fine beer.

Sep 7, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. In a hot tub (non-gay situation). As it warms, it gets better. intimidated at first, but the flavor wasn’t all there. A little over-malted, but still aight. Deserves a good reputation.

Aug 6, 2008 Bottle from miketd’s tasting
I believe this came from Mike as well. Coming from a brewery that I have never heard of this was a nice discovery. It is not the best western IPA but if it were available in my area as the local brew it would certainly be a choice for summer evenings.
Aroma / Appearance - A one finger white head surged above a carbonated amber brown body. The IPA presented itself with florally bright notes including resin and sweetness. Without being over the top it was balanced.
Flavor / Palate - Bittersweet caramel, butterscotch and pine blended into a drinkable balanced brew. One of those sessionable releases that you get in every part of the country it is a great daily drinker but not one to seek out aggressively.

Aug 5, 2008 1l flip-top bottle. Thanks to GrbDg for sharing. Aroma: Sweet maltiness with a light brown sugar note. Some light piney and citrus notes. Appearance: Medium amber in color and clear. Off-white head was small and foamy with fair retention. Fair lacing. Flavor: Fairly sweet maltiness up front with caramel and a light graininess. Pine and resin hop notes. Bitterness kicks in just enough to balance. Nice dry finish. Palate: Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Light alcohol warming in back of mouth. Overall: A pleasant and well balanced IIPA.

Jul 27, 2008 33.8 oz bottle-Pours a medium amber body with a nice tight small off white head. Aroma of hops, sweetness, and pine. Taste of hops, sweetness, caramel, and a nice sweet finish along with some dryness. This medium bodied brew is very well balanced and quite delicious.
