AdamGott (167), Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA Jun 4, 2008 Yummy beer. Picked this up while on vacation in Portland (along with 30 other beers that I have never tried - AFTER trying about 20 beers there that I had never tried). Nice extra hoppy goodness here - not the hit you in the head type of beer in favor amongst many American brewers but in the just right to go with extra malty backbone vein.
chuckycheese (3), USA does not count Oct 23, 2008 I really enjoy a good IPA and think this is at least as good as any other I’ve ever tried. SpringsLicker (1846), Tennessee, USA Aug 15, 2008 Thanks to RiversideAK for this one.
Slightly hazy deep gold with a thick, creamy off-white head.
Well balanced, sweet malts, juicy fruity hops.
The flavor is well balanced also, finishes towards the bitter side.
Smooth, very drinkable.
I’ll have another! kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Aug 13, 2008 <b>Date:</b> 06/21/2008<br />

AmEricanbrew (1137), Swamp Shreveport, Left Coast, Louisiana, USA Aug 7, 2008 Bottle. Clear amber with a frothy lingering head. Mild piney hop, bready malt aroma. Medium body. Well balanced flavor of bready malts with a nicely bitter hop taste. Worth a try. fakepurseninja (578), Washington, USA Aug 1, 2008 Best looking drink I have seen in a long time - deep, golden cloudy body with lots of hop bits littering the profile. Billowing white head. Very floral drink, heavy lightly toasted caramel malt body. Lots of grapefruit citrus and heavy pine. Heavy duty hop-bomb for being listed a single IPA. Slight astringent sting with a piney finish well suited to the sweet caramel biscuit malt. very nice.
