Nov 22, 2009 on tap @ Jakes Bar and Bistro Steilacoom, this is a great IPA and it is approachable, crisp, hoppy without being to resinous on the tounge, a great food ipa with just the right amount of floral quality!

Big pine hop aroma. Small white head. Golden coloured very hoppy and fruity with a pine flavour. A little dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish.

Nov 22, 2009 From 22 0z bottle into tulip.
It poured a golden yellow color a bit hazy with a nice white head.
The smell is definitely San Diego style IPA all the way with nice floral hop aromas.
Up front it has a strong grapefruit citrus hop flavor with some floral and pine hops flavors as well. A bit of malt with a nice dry crisp finish.
Not a bad IPA at all, I think a little more from the malt side wouldn’t hurt though. Overall a great IPA, but I’d swing for their Hop 15 before this any day.

Nov 12, 2009 This beer is definitely geared toward the hops, it is light and fizzy, which exaggerates the bitterness and the finish.

Nov 12, 2009 Draught. Hazy orange, medium off white head. Aromas of pine and citrus, slightly sweet smelling. Taste of citrus hops, very straight forward. Long bitter and dry finish. Nice IPA.

Nov 3, 2009 22 oz bottle. A fresh aroma with a more subtle hoppiness than expected. Notes of leafy hops, spicy pine, mild citrus fruits, pale bread grains, and some other lighter fruits. The pour had a smaller creamy starch white head, a very opaque cloudiness, and bright tropical orange color. This beer has some good things going on in the taste and palate, but I sort of wish there was more. Things seem a bit too mild for a fuller feeling ipa. A bit more balanced toward the hop side of things, flavor notes include mostly herbal and pine bitterness, with some thick citrus, as well as a bit of light grain malt. Actually, I might like a bit more from the malty end of things things. Overall, this was a very nice drinking ipa, that I could easily session to all night.
