Stove Top (43), Kenmore, Washington, USA Apr 28, 2001 Big and Beautiful...Great Hoppy nose with malt obvious. I have had on tap and in bottle. Much better on tap. This is a great IPA. Hanratty (36), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Mar 26, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. Nice aroma, nicely balanced, a lot of hop aromas & lavour w/o going over the top. TipsyMcStager (900), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Dec 28, 2006 gotta say I love this beer. Nice piney hop aroma. Pours a cloudy orange with a foamy head. Sweet, but understated malt presence, earthiness. Lingering, satisfying hop finish. A very flavourful beer. Underrated IMO. dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Oct 3, 2009 A noticeable but not strong hop aroma. This is pretty good. Starts off relatively light and the hops grow as it goes. beergod (97), Houston, Texas, USA Sep 28, 2008 This IPA Pours a nice dark caramel with a small head, but did leave some nice lacing. There are some nice hoppy and a slight malt aromatics. Flavor is Much of the same, Floral,dry, and very well balanced. This is a solid IPA and i would definetly recomend it. Don’t be discouraged by it’s present rating Try it for yourself!! Aubrey (2773), Denver, Colorado, USA Aug 19, 2001 Smooth, warming, and made my tongue happy. Low carbonation, soft, and extremely well-rounded. Hops are very well-defined and very cleverly expressed. Beautiful, ’multi-leveled’ hop aroma. What a great beer! grant (792), Long Beach, CA/Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Feb 9, 2003 Updated: May 25, 2007This one gets points just for being unique, in addition to its innate quality. Starts off a tad on the malty side, and then shifts to a honey/nectar taste. Then you are walloped by a full-on floral hops brigade! I would go so far as to call the hops rose-like! There is also a bit of Belgian yeast-like funkiness in this beer, which I see as an attribute. Very malty, very flowery, very unique, very good! My palate is reeling. jsquire (2086), St. Marys, Ohio, USA Feb 16, 2003 I had this on tap at the pub and in the bottle I brought home. Damn good both places, but I'm rating the bottle. Sharp pine needle nose, copper orange color with a thin white head. Lots of hop flavor in this one with pine, citrus and peach notes coming through over the sweet malts. Stong bitter finish with a pleasant, lasting hop residue. Very good IPA.
