On tap at Laurelwood on 52nd and Sandy (not the pizza place).
Light golden-orange color with big off-white head that laces well.
Intense fruity, almost tropical aroma. Grapefruit, pineapple, mandarin, tangerine and biscuits & honey. Some red apple.
Soft creamy bubbles and low carbonation make this medium bodied brew smooth and very drinkable.
Sweet lightly toasted biscuity malt is bursting with juicy hop flavors. Big pink grapefruit impression, orange, tangerine and piney resin on a lingering bitter finish without being offensively bitter. Hugely drinkable. Probably the best IPA I found in Portland.

Jan 23, 2010 Balanced hop aroma, citrus and pine. Clear golden amber with barest head (on tap at original brewpub.) cold and crisp. in flavor, again, the balance, a couple moments of almost harshness, no alcohol presence, solid and crisp.

Dec 23, 2009 Growler from brewpub - I expected a lot more aroma from a beer with this high of an IBU. Pours a nice golden color with a perfect frothy 1" head. Has a very distinctive IPA flavor. Kind of what I’d expect from Laurelwood. Overall, it’s a very nice IPA.

Nov 5, 2009 Draft at brewery: Poured medium amber with slowly dissipating head, floral and citrus overpower any underlying notes. Medium mouth feel brings out malt profile of caramel and cascade hops, finishes decently with well rounded bitterness and little alcohol taste. A very good IPA.

Aug 1, 2009 From a mason jar 1 day old from the brewery...big thanks to Jeff! Hazy dark golden amber with big head. Freaking wonderful nug & citrus aroma. Did someone just smoke a j, or is that just my beer? The hops are perfect; citrus, pine and nugs. Just enough lightly sweet caramel malts bring it all together and keeps the bitterness in check well. At 7.5%, it’s got just enough of everything to really shine. Love it. Not sure what you could do to improve much on this...from a hop-heads perspective anyways.

Jul 5, 2009 Draft / Light hazy golden amber with a generous white head. Aroma is bright citrus hops, and sweetness. Flavor is citrus and pine with enough malt to balance. One of my favorite local beers and a stand by when we need a keg for a party.

May 29, 2009 On tap at Laurelwood Public House. Pours mostly clear bubbly orange amber with a nice lingering off-white head. Aroma is mostly citrus hops, along with roses, pine, and caramel. Taste is much the same, with a very nice caramel malt balance. Smooth with a citrus hop finish.

May 15, 2009 Tap@Brewpub. Heavy grassy aroma’s. Hazy, light amber colour, off-white head, good lace. Sweet, very bitter, lots of hop, grassy. Smooth. American style hopped but not over the edge, great balance.
