Sampled draught at Ice Harbor Brewpub in Kennewick, WA
Pale gold, tan head, light lacing. Nose of crisp hops, some pine and juniper notes, also a good malt profile. The flavor is a touch bitter with some more cascade type hops. Finishes average. Nice.

Nice big hoppy nose. Grapefruit and citrus rinds, pine, black pepper, hints of dough and pale malts as well. Hazy orange gold, nice creamy head with good staying power. The flavor has big bitterness up front. Grapefruit and orange skins/pith, pine resins, followed by dough/pale malt. More long lingering dry resins on the palate. Nice bitterness, long lasting, great finish. Really good stuff.

22. Pours a murky dark gold with a loose, sudsy whitish head. Mild pine and grapefruit on the nose. Could this beer be suffering from a wee bit of staleness? Methinks it must be so. Creamy medium body with moderately lively carb. Big grapefruit on the mid-palate, with some toasty caramel under that. Long acidic, oily finish. Finishes much more interestingly than it smells. Gotta be a case of insufficient freshness. More’s the pity.

(22oz bomber thanks to blackswan) clearish yellow, wispy bubbles, nose of agave syrup, cotton candy, orange marmalade. Taste of grapefruit, agave, very earthy, cotton candy/marshmallow, very dry finish, medium bitterness.

Clear amber color/ ivory head. Pine sap, tea leaf, citrus, caramel aromas. medium body. Pine, citrus, woody hop bitterness with pale, caramel malt sweetness, big bitter finish--ok

UPDATED: JAN 14, 2011 22 oz. bottle, pours hazy golden orange with a small white head. Pungent floral hops, caramel, grapefruit and orange. Lots of fruits on the flavour (mango, peach, apricot, grapefruit, melon) and floral hops - it starts out nice, but is unbalanced and the flavours do not mesh well together. Paint thinner-like finish - not too good.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle. Yellow with a white head. Aroma is pine, orange, biscuits and some sugary character. Flavor is heavy on the pine and oranges. The biscuit malt keeps the bitterness low. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
