Light amber copper/amber color. Many bubbles hold a thick, frothy,
foamy head very well. Pecan, maple malt aroma. Plum, barley, and
grassy hop taste. Trickle down lacing. Mouthfeel is fairly thick.
Finish is woody, and has notes of apple peel. Its almst like this beer
was aged in wooden barrels.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 riversideAK (4381) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - FEB 19, 2010
Sweeter nose for an IPA. Notes of pale malts, bread, some sugary sweetness, apricots, peach, and a touch floral. Pours bright golden with a nice head. The flavor is sweet and fruity with a good dose of apricots and oranges, pale malt sweetness, and a moderate floral bite in the finish. Sweeter than I’d like, but still good. Had a similar flavor as their brown - house yeast? Drank nicely for 7 percent.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 bhensonb (7143) - Woodland, California, USA - MAR 7, 2009
Bomber brought from Charlottesville by Josh - Thanks! Medium amber color with a very slight white head. Aroma is mostly floral/citric hop. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is floral hop, so it’s not all that bitter. Finish is dryish, smooth and a bit oily. Leaves bitterness around the tongue edges. Certainly not your typical NW hophead IPA, but I think there’s more hop in here than it’s getting credit for. Otherwise I think I’d be getting a lot stronger dose of malt.
