Brewed in Pacific City, Oregon. Combines Cascade, Magnum and Centennial Hops with Pale ale and Caramel malts. Specs: 85 IBU, 7.5% ABV and 17° Plato. Has a very complex aroma that blooms with fresh strawberries followed by light citrusy hop accents and some very faint pine notes. It has a mild carbonation with a rich creamy off white head and orange-amber body. The taste is very much like the aroma on this one, fruity, citrusy, and a powerful hop bite. Has a well balanced finish with a smooth combo of bitter and sweet flavors, although it may be slightly cloying. On the pallet it has a full bodied mouth feel with a somewhat thick aftertaste. All in all a very crafty and complex beer. This one would not make it on my A list of IPA’s (as I am an IPA snob), but nonetheless a solid beer. The fruity sweetness of this beer might compliment a spicy dinner.

Bottle from Hannot. Thanks Todd! Pour is clear copper with a nice, white head. Great initial lacing. Much grassy, spicy hop aroma. Flavor is pretty subtle...nice, citrusy hops and good malt backing. Fairly sweet. Good body and very nice. Good thirst quencher. Better than solid and needs a re-visit for sho!

bottle thanks to todd.....pours a crystal clear amber brown with a white head forming around the edges...... subdued aroma of sweet citrusy hops and a little grassiness and pine..... flavors left me wanting for more. citrus hops with a lasting equalizing resiny bitterness that remains on the palate. small malt profile doesn’t add much. carbonation is pretty lively..... not as enjoyable as i would have liked but still pretty good.
