after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA Nov 7, 2007 22. No infection! Yay Hood Canal! Clean Beer! Rock on with your fancy selves! Pours dark coppery amber with a slim white rim of sudsy fluff. Lightly sour orange pith nose with plenty of pine counterpoint. Light, almost watery body, and a bit undercarbed. Sweet orange and pine on the mid-palate, with a nice long resinous finish. Not too shabby. Nice to see them stepping up. Carl (11), Issaquah, Washington, USA Aug 17, 2007 Bottle. Hazy copper hue. Nice hop aroma - strong but not overpowering for an IPA. Definite orange smell with dough hints. Bright, upfront flavor with mild bitter aftertaste. Moderate carbonation. Nate (2533), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 26, 2007 On tap at the Crabhouse in Port Angeles. Light fruity nose, with apricot nectar and sweet biscuit. Hazy, almost cloudy, amber-orange with foamy lacing off-white head. Medium bodied with mild-medium carbonation. Starts with biscuit and caramelized sugar. Apricot nectar and orange oil. Fresh fruity hops that finish with medium bitterness. Sweet bitter after. IrishBoy (2686), Bakersfield, California, USA Jul 5, 2007 Draft at Crabshck Restaurant, Port Angeles, WA; nose of lowery and citrus hops; Hazy copper with a medium, lomg-lasting, glass-lacing off white head; body was medium with hop bitterness and light sweet caramel for balance with some hops lasting to the finish.

A deep amber color with a nice head. This had a great aroma of hops and was awesome to finally smell. It had been weeks since I had a great IPA. Had a deep hop flavor and the malts where subtle and good. This had some great flavors and was a true awesome find. Tad bitter in the finish this was still a good brew. fakepurseninja (773), Washington, USA Mar 20, 2007 Nice, textbook, looking IPA. Nice malty backbone with a nice compliment of floral, citrusy hop essence - albeit very small hoppiness. Fresh wood and nut wisps as well. A tad bland but extremely well balanced and put-together IPA. beerabill (14), Silverdale, Washington, USA Sep 23, 2006 On tap at the brewery. Fruity on the nose, a bit sweet. Cross between amber, and copper in color, unique. Great sweet mouthfeel with the taste of grapefruit, and honeydew melon. Nice, lightly bitter hoppy aftertase. Worth the time to drink. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Jul 30, 2006 The body was slightly hazy with a hazy and ruddy dark copper. The aroma was grapefruit that was almost overwhelming. There was also caramel and a hint of peanuts. The taste was caramel with some wodd and a little bit of grapefruit. This was a decent IPA.
