23/09/2009. Wow! Beautifully balanced combination of malt, hop and alcohol. The malt and alcohol sweetness alongside the citrus of the hop give this beer that "screwdriver" character that a lot of good strong American hoppy ales can take on. There’s a tropical fruit and sweaty chartacter about it that makes me think of New Zealand hops but I doubt they are used in a beer that’s so close to the centre of the hop universe. Dangerously drinkable. Good name, good packaging, great beer.

On tap served in a snifter in PDX. The flavor from initial taste to swallow varied and I would agree with Schultsc comments on taste. "Flavor begins dry with a burst of dark hops flavors and fruit--more stonefruit--along with orange. Malt sweetness follows with some grain flavors. The body is firm but graceful and finishes with some grain flavors and a bit of alcohol warmth." It was a great beer for me on my way home from PDX I stopped by the Brewery on a Saturday and the boys at Ninkasi gave me a pint glass and set me loose towards there taps! Great bunch of guys and an awesome beer. My new favorite!

I love this beer, especially on cask! Very citrusy aroma, cloudy orange color. Bitter hop bite (which is not as strong on cask) with a citrus/fruit finish. Very drinkable for a beer this strong.

interesting name for this brewery in the US .. very solid smooth bitterness .. great beautiful lacing ... medium orange brown colour like the colour of a basketball at the knicks game, beeeeautiful!, stupid guvo, the patriots suck gweedo ... bottle from Bottletrek in Oregon, whats up travis ... very easy to drink, the bitterness level is right on with a nice backbone ... hides the ABV absolutely magically ... marble sure is happy .. again, whats up with the name ninkasi, am i in japan? i sure wish i had some general toe (just fuckin with ya, Gigi.. who? bla bla bla) .. this could be quite popular around the US with draft distribution, i mean bottle is wonderful but there are DIPA’s that match this ...

Big bott, imported for Brewnz! A luscious citrus pine in ya face hop aroma, its taken me 3/4 of the bottle to get this far. Damm ratebeer, dont you wish you could drink it without having to think abt it! Anyway, this is mothers milk - such well balanced warmth and sweetness in the palate, resinous well balanced citrus smorgasboard - nothing dominates, just a fine equalibrilum of all things US Cascade. Oh the sweetness - devine...!!!xxxxx

Smells intensely of fresh hop flowers. Bit of foam at the top, but not much head to speak of. Obvious hop taste, but without the ridiculous bitterness you get in some Double IPAs. Drinks smoothly with some maltiness. Up there as one of my favorite IPAs. So far so good from Ninkasi.

From a bottle on Hendrick’s Hill--thanks Lucy and Jared. Somewhat cloudy medium orange-gold with a very thin, fine, white head. Fruity, grainy malt aromas with peachy yellow stonefruit hops notes and a slight grassiness. Flavor begins dry with a burst of dark hops flavors and fruit--more stonefruit--along with orange. Malt sweetness follows with some grain flavors. The body is firm but graceful and finishes with some grain flavors and a bit of alcohol warmth.

(22oz bottle) Courtesy of IrishBoy. Thanks Richard! Pours a frothy large white head atop an unfiltered, high sediment filles orange body. Nose is very hoppy with the centennial and cascade variety, some iodine in the background. Flavour is so orange and piney. Lovely beer. 8/5/8/4/17
