On tap at the brewpub; color was amber to copper. Aroma was quite floral, with a bit of citrus and earth. Flavor was also very floral and quite bitter; however, it was not that refined.

Growler acquired in trade with Hophead22 (thanks!). Hop Daddy for the hopdog. Poured a medium and hazy amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of floral hops, pine, toasty, and grassy. Tastes of pine, floral hops and some caramel. Aromas was all hops with the tastes having a balance. Pine burbs.

Tap at the brewpub. Poured orangeish with a nice white head. Good hop aroma, the taste is a bit piney, but very well balanced. Good IPA

GABF 2008. Bronze medal winner this year. Hazy orange amber. Terrific ballance of caramel malt with a hint of burnt sugar, married to lively passionfruit and citrus hoppiness. Juicy and refreshing, nice bitter finish.

Hazy light amber. Bright florals and a minty hop nose. Rich bitterness. Toasty, breadcrusty malt and more bright hop notes - pine and tropical fruit.

Hazy orange with amble lacing and a fairly thick head. Bright fruity hop aroma. Balanced and grassy. Slightly phenolic but overall solid with a quaffable palate.

On tap at Mainstreet. Orange amber with creamy white head. Citrus aroma and taste, but not as hoppy as hoped for. Decent over all.

On tap pours a hazy orange color with a decent white head. Aromas of citrus hops, carmel malts and some yeast character. Taste is bitter, but not overpowering for style with good malt balance and hop flavor. Overall a good IPA, but hard to compare with other west coast IPA’s.
