Can from 16 Tons Taphouse, Eugene. Pours a bright medium golden orange/copper, moderate amount of head. Aroma is sweet, grapefruit, pineapple. Body is lighter, finish moderately hoppy, slight bitterness and a surprisingly long-lasting finish. Not the best local IPA, but still pretty damn tasty.

Thanks to the Boise crew. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. A nice citrus and caramel nose. The flavor is very smooth: caramel, oranges, light lemons, earthy. Very drinkable.

3.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From a 22oz Bomber. Pours a light fuzzy golden with a real nice head. Lacked the intense aroma I expected from this beer but has a good hop profile and a certain dryness to it. Had floaty ’stuff’ at the end of the pour that wasn’t eye pleasing but harmless. Great label! I would probably buy it again but be sure to get it on tap when in Springfield!
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle pours an orange brew with a white head. Scent is very hoppy with citrus and pine blending. Taste is pine, caramel and citrus. Everything I want in an IPA.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Orange pour, white head. Citrus and resin hops dominate with a light malt backnote. This one packs a punch. Pretty dang nice.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
The canned version. Another strong IPA offering from Oregon. Restrained with a load of hops to work through. Nice and vibrant.
