Sample tray. Woody hop nose entices but does not overpower. Apricot start to flavour. Citrus-apricot finish. Good IPA. Dry and fruity.

Draft: Amber colored pour with a strong piney aroma to it. Not a big piney flavored fan, but it finished bitter, slightly sweet.

On tap at the brewpub in Spokane. Deep orange in appearance - most notable characteristic on this guy is its earthy qualities - especially in the finish. Rather straight forward interpretation of the style and is just your standard brewpub IPA...ya dig? The only beer here I really felt like trying...

On draught at the brewery. Aroma is earthy, citrus, grassy hops forward with low malt character. Appearance is light copper with a medium white head. Flavor is sweet citrus hops with a malt balance forward followed by earthiness, fruity hops and a wide range of additional hop flavors tough to quantify. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carb texture. Overall, a great super hoppy complexity, even for an IPA.

Fifth stop during the ABA Beer Tour ’07 in Spokane, Washington. Sampled on tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy dark caramel amber brew with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to a white ring. Aroma of piney and floral hops with a touch of wood and just barely some multi-grain malt. Taste is bitter with a grassy hop flavor. Light to medium bodied with extra carbonation. Aftertaste is more bitter that lingers after the finish. Overall a light bodied brew with a bitter finish.
