On tap at Main Street in Gresham, OR--Hazy orange-amber body with a small white head and lots of lacing. Big floral grapefruit hops nose. Sticky and very bitter. Assault on the taste buds. No skimping on the hops. Nice beer!

On tap at Belmont Station (Portland). First of all, this beer has obviously improved much since the first reviews- this is a solid and drinkable IPA. Cloudy burnt-orange with nice thick off-white head that laces down the glass. Sweet smells of light malts underneath big citrus (lemon zest) and piney hops. Touch of aspirin. Citrus hop bomb. Slightly dusty and dank hoppy flavors, grapefruit, citrus zest. Slightly astringent aspirin quality to the finish, but not overly offensive. Smooth medium body lends a substantial mouthfeel. Pretty drinkable.

Draught. Poured orange amber with thin white head.Intense floral aroma. Balanced hop and malt flavour, medium body with citrus notes. Lingering bitterness on the tongue finish. A worthy IPA.

A decent little session style IPA. Has some nice balanced, a bit sweeter maltiness than I was hoping for, but the hops make up for it finish up into a clean dry bitter finish.

Forthy head, mahogany hued with stringy, spotty lacing. Floral and fruity nose with bitter and caramel malts. Bitter and floral flavors with some notes of candy. Caramel and some soapiness. Finishes with a good blend of hops and malts.
