kitschy (197), Nebraska, USA Feb 14, 2009 On nitro at jolly roger taproom in Ballard.
Very typical nitro head - poofy. Cloudy light gold color. Grapefruit citrus nose. Gummy grapefruit goodness. Wow is this good! Pleasant lingering aftertaste. captaincass (45), Everson, Washington, USA Feb 6, 2009 has a nice aroma, very yellow color. doesn’t seem like a imperial. good balance, nice grapefruity aftertaste. not bad. zaschell (12), , Washington, USA Jan 31, 2009 Had this on tap at Summit Public House in Capital Hill in Seattle. Had a pitcher, actually. You can definitely taste that there’s a high ABV. Very hoppy, and really crisp. A nice blond color to it, and the head was out of control good. snakeoilpete (324), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 30, 2009 Updated: Apr 6, 2009On tap at Snoose Junction Pizzeria (also added some notes after trying a bottle- pretty similar to tap actually). Pours mostly clear golden amber with a decent off-white head. Aroma is surprisingly bready- the hops are there but kind of weak. Citrus, floral, slightly earthy. Same with the taste- decent flavor, but not incredibly strong. Mouthfeel is OK, finish is generically bitter. pivo (2535), Germany Jan 19, 2009 Smells like a fresh bunch of hops. Hazy gold color, frothy head. A millisecond of malt body, then a bright high res hop. Not enough body and alcohol to be an IIPA, really. Thinish body. Lingering hop on the side of the mouth. danielcurtis81 (879), San Diego, California, USA Nov 19, 2008 Cask at Jolly Roger Taproom. pumps a cloudy straw. Good hoppy tones with the citrus. Nice malt backbone. Very smooth mouth feel with a slow bitter finish. anders37 (4516), Malmö, Sweden Sep 24, 2008 Draught @ Jolly Roger Taproom, Seattle. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Has a malty hoppy citrus piney aroma. Dry malty hoppy bitter piney flavor. Has a long malty bitter hoppy finish with a long aftertaste. AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Sep 2, 2008 Cask @ Brouwers. Hazy amber with a tight head. Fresh aroma is malt grist and piney hops. Smooth medium body. Great taste is grainy and mildly sweet malts with sweet floral hops mixing nicely. Tough to beat a cask iipa.
