May 1, 2009 Updated: May 15, 2009Crystal amber body with a soft white head. Light sweetness with marvelous floral hop character. Citrus, pine, and a slight grassy component make this an ideal-type NW IPA, one of the best I’ve had in quite sometime. Very refreshing and enjoyable.
Update - 5-15-09; Did not realize it until today but this was my 100th rated singleIPA. Great drink to mark the moment! Fan-fucking-tastic!

Apr 23, 2009 Really nice hops and malt balance for a red. The hops are crisp, citrus and a bit of greenery. Not weak at all.

Apr 18, 2009 Bottle shared by VFerg some time ago. I really enjoyed this one. Great hop and malt profile. Everything i look for in a Red IPA.

Apr 14, 2009 [1950-20090116] 22floz bottle. Heavy hops aroma has mild grassy notes. Clear, amber body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. Toasted hop grass flavour is bitter with lots of wood background. Medium body is quite bitter. Wonderfully hoppy but a little one-dimensional, though (granted) perhaps just in comparison to the few already imbibed this night.

Apr 7, 2009 From a 22 oz bottle this poured a very clear amber color with a thick and foamy white head and good lacing. Nose is a powerful citrus and floral hops on top of a solid malt backbone. Very smooth and clean mouthfeel. The flavor is quite bitter and the finish is quite bitter and long-lasting. Very solid IPA and enjoyable to drink.

Mar 19, 2009 22 oz bomber, Immediate sweet aroma of hops and pine. Poured a brassy coppery clear red with not much head (who cares). Flavor is excellent and full bodied and the hops and malt really answer the bell. This IPA finishes with quite a bite but that’s OK given the overall quality of this ale. Midnight Sun knows the way of the hop.

Mar 19, 2009 Pours reddish amber into the glass with a white head. Aroma is citrusy. Flavor is lacking enough malt backbone to stand up to the hops. Astringent hop bitterness is all I get out of this one.

Mar 2, 2009 Pours amber with a finger length off white head. Smells of citrus and melon. Tastes floral and bitter with some sweetness on the finish.
