stchloe (197), Portland, Oregon, USA Jul 29, 2008 A better brew from Lompoc, especially for a winter seasonal (not poorly spiced). Everything you would want from an IPA. WeeHeavySD (1865), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Jan 7, 2008 07-08 Road Trip with BikesandBeer. Had at Horsebrass Pub in Portland. Pours amber with a half finger tan head. Nose was super faint with a blend of malt and hop. Taste was full of sweet hops with malt on the back end. Not bad. bhensonb (3013), Woodland, California, USA Dec 20, 2007 Draft at the brewpub. Brown amber color with a super puffy white head. Medium body and carbonation. Aroma of Xmas spice. Flavor of roasted malt, decent hop. Finish is well balanced, spicy, malty, hoppy. Could be a trace of ginger. Very nice. Angeloregon (2002), Portland, Oregon, USA Dec 18, 2007 Enjoyed recently at Hedge House in Portland, OR--An amped up version of the C-Note. A copper-amber-orange body with a nice white head. Nose of big piny, grapfruity floral hops. Spicy and backed with a decent malt bill. Finished caramelly and bitter. I like IPAs so this was very enjoyable. DrunkenWeasel (218), Portland, Oregon, USA Dec 21, 2006 Pours deep amber with a medium white head. Smells strongly of pine and flowers. Taste is overwhelmingly hoppy, in a good way. Strong pine and flower tastes with a hint of caramel malt that becomes more prominent as the aftertaste kicks in. Damn good.
