on tap-pours a rich retaining off white head and slightly hazy gold color. Aroma is somewhat bitter pine hops-some citrus/perfumy (cascade+). Taste is great sweet citrus/then pine hops-some bitterness, good medium malt backbone. OK/mild carbonation.

Apr 27, 2008 Tap at brewpub. Hazy bronze color with a big head that quickly dissipates. Very sweet and strong citrus aroma, almost like a lemon lime soda. Strong hop taste that is similar to the aroma, though maybe a little more flowery. This could use more of a malt backbone.

Apr 19, 2008 Poured a rich orange color with a white head. Aroma featured a lot of citrus and flowers with a little bilt of toasted malt presence. Flavor was similar; a lot of citrus and floral elements. Good bitterness in the finish. Malt backbone was just present. Favorite of the day.

Feb 17, 2008 Draught. Pours golden, semi-cloudy with a nice head. The aroma is heavy with generous grapefruit. I get a little mary jane and some caramel in the scent as well. The body is medium with loads and loads of hops right up front, smacking my palate. Deep citrus and pine dry delight the tongue while some hints of crackers and caramel provide balance. This is a very, very nice American styled IPA. Excellent flexing of the PNW hops on this one.
