Aug 4, 2008 Substantial PNW hopping present here...grapefruit and pinesol, on top of a sweet caramel malt bottom. Really drinks more like a regular American IPA to me.

Mar 7, 2008 Draft. Very small tan head that mostly diminished, virtually no lacing, transparent, no carbonation observed, and an orange hue. Nose was lightly malty, light caramel, hoppy, citrus, and pine. Ditto for the flavor. Fairly smooth mouthfeel and medium in body. Nicely done given the style, but not as hoppy tasting as I was expecting. Worthy of a try.

Jan 7, 2008 This draft brew from a beer festival poured a very small sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that were fully diminished and left behind a uncarbonated orange brown colored body and a fair lacing. The weak aroma was hoppy floral and malty. The semi-flat mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of tingly hops and soft floral. An OK brew just nothing special.

Nov 18, 2007 On tap at the 2007 GTMW: Pours a transparent dark golden bronze with a well-lacing light tan head. Aroma of earthy grassy catnip and grapefruity hops with some mildly sweet caramel malt. Body starts with a good crisp pale malty sweetness and fresh bittersweet warming hoppy finish. Crisp and enjoyable, a good IIPA.

Oct 9, 2007 Draft sample at Back Road Fall Fest 2007. Poured clear copper color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Heavy grapefruit citrus hoppy and small alcohol aroma. Medium body with slick texture. Medium bittersweet caramel flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.
