Bottled. Thanks to Anders Holmskär.
Clear pale amber colour with good head. Great, what we all want here, oozing aroma from the Simcoe hops, that gives mandarines and such. Good malt balance in mouthfeel with citrus and mandarine, which makes it perfectly hoppy bitter at say 60-70 IBU’s, and a good prominent hop flavour.

Jul 25, 2008 12 fl. oz bottle GIVEN to me by Jan Primus (thanks Jan!). Pours a somewhat hazy orange amber with a few floaties. Aroma is ALL about the piney hops, it’s consuming.......Anyways, the flavour is more of the same, quite a bitter bite which is awesome, slightly high carbonation and with some sweetness in the finish, but not necessarily a lot of malts. Slightly boozy after a while too, but still hop ecstasy. Your textbook west coast IPA deliciousness.

Jul 22, 2008 Full copper color with a 3/4" off-white head. Strong floral hop aroma with a little spice. Flavor is super bitter, malty, and has notes of pine and citrus. Texture is a little dry and medium-bodied with a clean, bitter finish.

Jul 22, 2008 Wonderful IPA, good malt great hop and color. Its not a DIPA and I would say it is pretty balanced. The malt profile is different than most IPAs, although I think Bear Republic has something similar. Taste ends on an unfinished bitter/alcohol note that undercuts the enjoyment, but still a fantastic over hopped ipa.
