Nov 2, 2003 Updated: Jul 30, 2004Bottle: Lite on the nose. Fruity, a kind of belgiany scent. Orange color, clean with little head. Grapefruit rind and skunky. Thin body with big bitter finish. Bottle had a Best by April date on the side. I bought in october. Hope this explains why not very good. Origanal rating 4/3/4/3/10. Tap at brewpub. Much better than bottle experience. Citrus, orange and grapefruit. Carmel. Lite pine. Nice clean orange copper color. No head. Sweet, bitter flavors. Same as nose except more grapefruit than orange. Kinda creamy, thin bodied. Bitter finish. Very tasty, classic west coast. First beer in Seattle.

Jun 20, 2005 Bottle. Pours copper color and clear with a small foamy white head. Aroma is sweet ripe fruits - orange and peach - a bit of honey with nice counterpoint of floral and earthy hops. Flavor also very sweet, again ripe fruits with lemon grass and spruce hops and a hint of pungent spice in the aftertaste. Medium body and very smooth and mellow carbonation. Good, drinkable IPA.

May 21, 2006 Picked up a six-pack on a recent trip to oregon. Pours hazy amber with thin head. A bit of yeast at the bottom proves this to be bottle conditioned. Aroma is very freshly hoppy. Contributions from the hops are zesy lemon, citrus, and pine. I’m curious what variety of hops they use. Sweet tasting, medium bodied, very smooth, and nice bitter finish. Superb ipa.

Jun 9, 2004 Fruity, hoppy bitterness greets as you open the bottle. carmel malt, with toffee flavors. Thankfully, hearty malt strength can keep up with the hop sharpness. Nice, well done IPA.

Jan 25, 2005 Pours amber with a minimal white head. Not much lacing to mention. Fruity aroma. Earthy, citrus hop characteristics. Pleasant bitter aftertaste. Good brew.

May 6, 2004 Light color, not much head. Nice sharp flavor flavor, you can really taste the hops as the flavor goes on.

Aug 31, 2004 Pretty balanced west coast IPA with strong hop palate balanced with powerful malt backbone. One of the better offerings in Seattle but by no means the best.

Dec 17, 2002 I’d have to agree it’s out of balance toward the crisp, sharp hops (they make the sides of my tongue curl up!), but I kind of like that aftera whole bunch of super-hopped and super-sweetly malted left-coast IPAs. Quite a good one. Floral but no wallflower that’s for sure. Brash...definitely not creamy. I think I remember calling Bridgeport’s IPA almost creamy...not this bad boy. Enjoy!
