On tap at O’Brien’s this was clear orange and looked like Blind Pig to me. The smell was a little bit of oily hops. The flavor was quite bitter without much citrus flavor or pine or grass or the things I like to taste in a West Coast IPA. I think Blind Pig is better than this but this was still quite easy to drink much like an Russian River beer. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 09-21-2009 23:23:06

US trip Aug/Sept 2009 - on tap at RR. Thought this one better than the blind pig - bigger hops, cleaner tasting malt. Very nice

On tap @ RR. Pours a clear copper color with a small head. Nice sweet aroma, accompanied by a grassy hop character. Tangy hop bitterness shines through the sweet backbone, I’d say middle of the road as RR IPA’s go.

Another golden amber IPA with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, cleaner C-hops, more citrussy, less funk, quite classic. In mouth, a nice classy hoppy IPA, resinous and floral, quite good. On tap at brewpub, August 17 2009.

On tap. Clear golden with a dense off-white head. Citrusy, piney hop aroma. Medium body, fruity without much of a malt feel and a fairly dry and hoppy finish. 110709

On tap at the brew pub. Sort of a toned down cross between Pliny and Blind Pig. Orange amber color, transparent, lacing white head. Aroma of pine, grapefruits, lemon but also sneaky sweet. Flavor was nice and bitter, citrus fruits, pine, not super resinous, crackers and some caramel candy. Finish is medium bodied and bitter. Nice and sessionable as well but not as good as the other IPAs on the menu.

On tap at the brewpub on 6/30/09. Pours nice orange, thin head, decent lacing. Little bit of citrus and pine aroma, but not quite as overpowering as blind pig. However, it’s very balanced with some nice caramel undertones, smooth, and drinkable, with dry earth/pine finish.

On tap at Russian River. Pours a clear amber with a diminishing head and lacings. Smells hoppy and floral. Bitter with some citric hops aromas. Chinook? Earthy hints with a bit of spice. Also a hint of caramel. Bitter finish.
