Tap. Extremely crisp in an unusual way. Fruity, citric, grapefruit aroma that has a slightly malty taste that distinguishes it from other IPAs. Some hints of orange rind; nice mouthfeel with a hair of sharpness.

Dark hoppy amber with no head, lacing or carbonation. The aroma has a bit of hops, fresh cascades with a balanced maltiness. The flavor is lightly bitter with a fresh outdoorsyness to it. Finishes with a good body. Good respectable IPA.

UPDATED: JAN 6, 2008 F#$k this is awesome. Glorious hop nose. Earthy, frothy and a wonderfully hopped malty beer. If you visit Liberator, drink both IPAs... they rock.

Holy hops Batman! Huge full hop aroma, pretty sure this is exclusivly cascade but who knows. Slightly cloudy yellow color. Palate is medium bodied, dominated by a huge burst of citrusy, sweet hops. Bitterness comes in the finish, but is very well balanced and does not offend. I am reminded of LaConner Dry Hopped IPA, but without the straining business. A fine, fine NW IPA.
