| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Nice IPA, low on the alcohol and hops which is a nice change from the contemporary style. hoppybeers4me (15), Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 21, 2008 On tap at the brewery July 11 and in a bomber July 12. IPAs are my style of choice and I only found one fault with this one. This is definitely a PNW style IPA, deep amber in color with the cascade hops evident. Initial nose of citrus hops and spent grain, with a nice bitter hop middle. I really liked it until the finish, which is the odd part...I got a strong aftertaste of bile. Not sure why. Will try again when I am able to and see if anything changes my mind. Sparky27 (1586), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 3, 2008 Bomber. Pours a clear deep amber with 2 finger tan head and moderate lacing. Nose is citrus, floral hops and pine. Taste is all about the resiny pine. Not much malt flavor. A bit unbalanced but I like strong pine in an IPA so it’s all good. Medium mouth feel, decent IPA. ratman197 (3189), Arvada, Colorado, USA
