Jun 21, 2004 Fairly dark amber/copper body with a small off-white soapy head. Light dusty citrus hop aroma, orange, pine, brown sugar. Taste has a minty orange presense with some spice and cherries as it warms up to room temp. Hop taste is smooth, sweet, and slightly resiny. To me, indicative of a dry hop or hop back thing. Its not a a big IIPA, but still good.

Jun 20, 2004 Brown/copper, with a large, dense, rocky head. Fresh earthy hops aroma. Crisp hoppy flavor right up front. Grassy, woodsy hops ton a smoky, even a little chocolatey malt base. As it warms, hints of mint and citrus and even caramel emerge. Very nice. Thanks to Liquid Solutions for selling me this one.

Jun 17, 2004 Updated: Jun 18, 2004Ruby opaque brown color with nice thicky creamy off-white head and some light lacing. The aroma is sweet with a nice hopping level. Some definately chinook and other pnw specialties. Very earthy and piney, some citrus. The flavor is stronger with some alcohol notes and a bit of rough bitterness. Finishes creamy and smooth. Not quite as good as I was expecting, but still a decent I2PA.

Jun 8, 2004 Cery, hoppy clean and bright vivid flavors and aromas. Pine and PNW, Cascade? Chinook? A bit punchy very well rounded and very lightly creamy texture. Awesome!

Jun 8, 2004 Updated: May 31, 2005Found it rather amusing that as much as I love hops so much, I was thrown off after having tasted a big round of big Belgians - what a shock to have something so familiar seem so foreign. very nice. Piney. floral, blab, blab, blab. I liked it.

Reeeeerate: Nice to try again and by itself, While I’m not sure that I would be worthy of enjoying this as an every day beer, I sure was more impressed the second time around. Were this any more lively I wouold have had to slap it. Head that died down after a while, but was HUGE. Woody, piney, cirusy, y. y, y. y. Muy bueno

Jun 2, 2004 22 oz bottle-sept. 2003-very dark amber appearance, especially for a IIPA. nice off white rocky head that lasted a long time. lots of yeast action here. aroma is balanced of citrus and piney hops with tones of vanilla and kool-aid. very subtle and smooth palate-very good balance of hops and malt somewhat reminds me of hop devil. Some apple cider tones in the mid-flavors. silky mouthfeal. I think this is a very under-rated IIPA. I loved it!

May 23, 2004 Great red color on this strong ale style IPA. Smooth richer taste less bitter hoppy taste than Sockeye, more sweet and malty. But don’t think its not hoppy or bitter, it is, just not a regular IPA. Good stuff, try it. You like it if you like northwest beers.
