Jul 25, 2008 Bomber from Safeway, Port Angeles; Nose has grassy and flowery hops with a hint of pine, caramel and a lihjt vanilla note; orange-copper with a good sized orange tinged, beige head that laces lightly; flavor has hop bitterness, a pine note, and a good dose of caramel malt; finishes very lightly bitter. Good rendition of an IPA!

Jul 14, 2008 Bronzed-amber-tinged color with clinging head. Piercing hop aroma of columbus and cascades. WOWY! Holy IBU’s! Strong pine, and some pineapple and grapefruit and a little catty.Quite a piney punch rounded out by pineapple and grapefruit. Bitterness profile is fairly clean making this one perilous. I would definitely seek this one out again.

Jun 12, 2008 Solid drink. Clear orange body with a big, pillowy orange/ecru head. Big malty pale ale back bone - nice caramel essence with a moderate dry finish. Very nice hop lineup. one of my favorite blends. A tad on the thinner side of medium bodied - almost watery, but with enough favor and hop bitterness to pull it out. Mild pine essence with very little citrus notes. Some nuttiness and soft floral bits. Overall a very solid, ennjoyaable PNW IPA.

Apr 9, 2008 Tap @ Brewery: Copper, light head and lacing. Nose of cascade. No dry hops? Bitter and malty, so what... A little innovation please with PNW IPAs.
