Aug 9, 2008 Bottle, this beer is incredible. Sierra Nevada hit it right on the head with this one. Hoppy but not overly so, this beer is so easy to drink. Would buy again

Aug 7, 2008 12oz bottle: pours dark golden brown with long lasting off white head, aroma malty with a hint of hops, flavor kind of weak not as much hops as I was looking for and a little watery on the malt side but not bad. Decent beer with a beautiful pour.

Aug 7, 2008 Draft @ Winking Lizard: This pours a bright orange with a thick white head, no surprises here. The surprise, though, was how incredibly smooth this was compared to what I was expecting. Aroma is major citrus hop with underlying pine. A tinge of astringency creeps into the nose as this beer warms, but it is not distracting. Mouthfeel is surprisingly smooth and dry. The beer is noticeably more bitter than its SN Pale Ale cousin, but is balanced so nicely with toasty malts that it doesn’t sting the palate. Lingering bitterness picks up on the tongue after a few seconds. Definitely a go-to beer for August!!

Aug 6, 2008 Had on tap at the Winking Lizard. Dark golden pour, creamy white head. Aroma of pine and grapefruit. Flavor was a bit sweet up front, citrus, and hoppy and bitter on the end. NOt a fan of IPA’s, but this one was fairly drinkable. Not outstanding.

Aug 5, 2008 Bottle of the 2008. Beautiful dark copper pour with a creamy, persistent head. This is a well made, satisfying beer to drink. Aromas of apricot, dried flowers and herbs with a hint of leather. Bready rich flavor with hints of banana peel.

Aug 5, 2008 2008 version, bottle poured into English
pint glass. Good, but didn’t stand out in
any way. Hops aroma noted, but not
overly so. Noted some hops bite in the
taste, but not really much else. The malt
was pretty much hidden, no other spice
flavors evident. Definitely enjoyable, but
at the same time, somewhat
disappointing.

Aug 5, 2008 Updated: Oct 5, 20092009 - Certainly a pretty red-orange. Smells like the piney cascade hops with some dried apricot. Taste is very strong hop, bitter, and more stone fruit. Would pair well with a strong cheese. Medium body with a seltzery feel.
