Pours a hazy orange color with a small off-white head. Has a malty hoppy citrus aroma with some piney hints. Malty hoppy bitter flavor with hints of grapefruit and pine needles. Fruity malty hoppy bitter finish with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Angeloregon (2024), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 1, 2008 On tap at Hood Canal Brewery in Kingston, WA--Poured a deep orange-amber body with a thin off-white head. Nose of gritty, piny, citric hops and caramel malts. Nice grapefruit presence. Nothing spectacular in the spine, so I assume this beer is just an off beer masked by a big hop bill. Not bad, though. robforbes (1083), Bremerton, Washington, USA Apr 18, 2008 Updated: Aug 31, 2009old rating:

pours a semi-hazy amber-orange with a very large off-white head, and good lacing.
smell of light grapefruit, some sweet fruit, a little orange peel, a little caramel, and some pine.
taste is on the fizzy, sweet, pink grapefruit, lots of hops, a little pine, orange peel, and a touch metallic, ends over carbonated and bitter. hopdog (5534), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 10, 2008 22oz bottle acquired in trade with riversideAK (thanks!).

Very chewy. AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Jan 9, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Has a reddish orange color with a small , off white head. Subtle herbal hop, bubblegum, and grain smell. Medium bodied. Decent grainy, sweet malt flavor followed nicely with a medium bitter hop taste.
Not what i was expecting from a Wa. state IPA. Tastes more like an English pale ale. April 2004 Ibrew2or3 (2714), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Nov 8, 2007 Bomber poured clear copper with thin tan head. The aroma was a bit light with sugary and roasted malts mixed with mild grapefruit hops, faint spice hops and a dash of pine. The taste is a quick bolt of sugary malts followed by fresh grapefruit hop bitterness. The hops soon become floral and spicy as roasted malts surface and take the flavor into the finish. A lingering mild bitterness, biscuit and caramel malts float for a while into the after taste. It ends a bit thin.
