COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This strong IPA is a hop lover’s dream. The smooth but intense bitterness comes mostly from Columbus and Northern Brewer hops. Late addition Cascade hops and dry hopping with Cascade and Amarillo hops help give this beer a complex character and aroma. This IPA is delicately balanced with a medium maltiness that compliments without detracting from your hoppy experience.

On tap at Anthony’s in Richland, WA. Very nice golden color, not much of a head, but produced bubbles until the glass was empty. Aroma was hops, pine resin, citrus. Pretty strong aroma. The taste followed in kind - very hoppy, minimal malt character, nice bitterness that was not overwhelming. Clean and pleasant after taste, cleanses the palate nicely. I rather liked this beer and would have it again.

Bottled at 6.7% ABV. Hazy orange with a good-sized head, good retention and lace. Caramel, doughy malts with soft citrus and resiny hops on the nose. Decently balanced if not a little light on bitterness throughout.

Nena (963) - Seattle, Washington, USA - OCT 16, 2011

womencantsail (6902) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - SEP 3, 2011
A: The pour is an orange-amber color with a finger of white head. S: Starts off with a bit of citrus peel and floral hops. There is a light herbal note and pine, too. Although there are a decent number of different hop notes, the aroma is dominated by the sweet maltiness. T: A pretty bland flavor. Lots of cracker and bready malt flavors with very little in terms of hop flavors. A bit of bitterness, some floral and pine hop notes, and some more sweetness of toffee malts. M: Light bodied with a medium level of carbonation. O: Lackluster. Not something I’d care to try again.

Clear amber color/ ivory head. Mild pine needle, floral hoppy aromas. Medium bodied. Decent floral, pine flavors with some caramel, mildly bitter finish.
