Feb 20, 2008 Pours a nice copper color with a big cream colored head that leaves lots of lacing. Aroma is citrusy hops and malt. Taste is a very nice fruity hop flavor but with malt balanced in. A very good pale ale.

Feb 20, 2008 nice pour with lasting head. Golden Amber color. Not much for fruit esters, this beer is predominately malt and hop flavored. A bigger, smoother version of the pale ale.

Feb 20, 2008 WOW!! I just tried this one a couple weeks ago from my local BEVMO and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. I enjoyed the hearty flavor and the sense of fullness I got from drinking it. However, don’t know if it’s a good thing for the rest of you or bad, but this beer tastes like weed.

Feb 18, 2008 a terrific beer! sierra nevada knows how to do hops; their cascade hops have such a unique and yummy taste.

Feb 18, 2008 2007 bottling, 24oz, pours nice deep dark amber, however taste is of oxidation and bottle top has some "funk" around where the cap was, looks to be a bad bottle, doesnt taste horrible yet, hence the palatable marks, but doesnt seem correct...for an IPA which i should love... will have to rerate.

Feb 18, 2008 2007 bottling. 24 oz bottle pours a hazed amber body with a creamy eggshell head. Aroma has a spicy, leafy, earthy hop prominence. Some caramel and floral hops emerge as it warms. Medium body and carbonation is a bit slick. Taste is about all hop bitterness. Grassy, piney, earthy, leafy, and spicy. Just a small touch of sweet caramel to balance. Wish I could’ve had this a bit fresher but the hops still taste plenty fresh.

Feb 17, 2008 Bottle from Utobeer. Copper coloured with a good sized, lasting, tight white head. Peppery hops dominate the aroma, quite alcoholic and a bit grainy. Smooth body and medium carbonation. Flavour is quite sweet malt and a big resinous hoppy finish. Well hidden alcohol, a touch of pepper and a little bit soapy. An enjoyable US IPA with plenty of hop aroma but not overdone bitterness.

Feb 13, 2008 Wow what a beer. Fresh hop aroma from the pour. First taste even better then the sweet aroma. Nice citrus hope flavor with a nice easy follow through. To me, this is what a hoppy beer should be! Sierra Nevada got it right with this one!
