4.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20On tap @ Beer Junction. Pours clear pale orange with thin head. Aroma is grapefruit hops. Taste is solid caramel malt base with a ton of hop flavor; grapefruit, pine, and floral. Nice alcohol to pull it all together. Truly one if the best balanced IPAs around. Glad to see this back. Gearhead is a weak sibling to this.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft. Light amber body. Frothy white head. Aroma of grapefruit, citrus, toasted grain. Hint of caramel. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/velvety texture, lively carbonation. Hop taste trips over raw grain taste. Unclean in the mouth. Taste of floral hops, citrus. Sweet unlike many west coast IPAs.

22oz bottle, split 2 ways.A: Rusty orange with a vanishing head. Slides off the glass.N: Rustic pine, and the most grapefruit I?ve smelled in an IPA. Clementine orange and crystallized sugars. Has a cedar baseboard overture.T: Pine, spruce, and conifer. Grapefruit and some pineapple to give it heft. Biscuit nature is drying. Lots of clementine. Hoh rainforest floor. Balance of bitterness hits the sweet spot.M: Medium bodied, assertive without succumbing to imbalance.O: Best IPA made in Portland and worthy of its national win several years ago. Balanced and complex.

Bomber to Duvel tulip, rest in peace beerjobber. Pours golden orange with a large wispy white head. Nose is clean grapefruit with hints of resin. Just a little muted, wish I could get more cus’ I like it. This drinks real easy with a great balance, I can’t put my finger on what sets this apart from a lot of the IPA’s that have been coming my way. It certainly has something unto itself and I dig it, that being said I can’t get this on the regular and it was pricey with shipping. Awesome beer, wish I could try other brews from this company! Tear it up
