Woodinville, Washington USA

Serve in Shaker, Tulip

Dark golden amber w/ very little head. Chinook hops aroma- orange scents. Flavor is very hoppy but tastes like an extract beer. Gin Mill NYC

On tap. The pour was a crystal clear light copper color with a one-finger tall white head that provided decent lacing. The aroma was of a pretty straightforward IPA. Mostly pine with only a bit of citrus and some malt chiming in. The flavor was led as well by the pine hops. Not enough balance with the caramel malts and citrus in my opinion. The finish was succinct and the mouthfeel was thin but overall this beer was decent.

On draft at Zeno’s. Pours a semi clear yellow orange/gold with a medium frosty white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of hops and faint citrus. Taste is hoppy with perfume notes and a bitter finish.

Draft at the Woodinville brewpub. Crystal clear medium amber with light but opaque white head. White sugar and cat litter nose. Cardboardy, sugary attack and mid-palate. Light body, soft carb. No finish. Company says "it’s cat litter in a glass."

Not a bad IPA. Could use a tad more green noble hops. Needs a little more herbal appeal. Not bad overall though.

Good IPA; good full hop flavor with malt to mellow. Good for the price as well.

This beer pours a golden amber color with no head at all. it has a strong hoppy aroma and hints of hops and pine in the malt. As you drink it there is a nice pine flavor to it with some strong hints of hops and malt. the palate is very typical and similar to most IPA’s, hoppy and malty.

Hops totally took over this beer, which made it a little overpowering. Had a strong taste that wouldn’t let go, but all in all, not that bad, would have another when in the mood for an IPA.
