Nice, smooth, typically grapefruity Northwest IPA.. Decent body, nice aroma, and pleasant going down, just nothing really special about it.

Oct 8, 2008 Tangerine-colored bomb in a glass with a firm, tan head. Piquant hop aromas of pine and grapefruit, tightly wound together with touches of caramel and alcohol. On the first sip, the beer surprises with a well-rounded fruity-hop bouquet with orange, tangerine, apricot and a squirt of grapefruit. Perhaps deserves a better rating. Good all around. Caramel malt sweetness merges well with the fruity, ctirus hops.

Aug 1, 2008 On tap at Trumpeter’s Ale House in Mount Vernon, WA--Poured a bright orange-amber body with a handsome fluffy white head. Nose of strawberries and lush citrus fruits. Quite unique scent. Very delicious. Great hoppy presence with a well balanced malt spine. Clean and uber-delicious!

Mar 31, 2007 Rich and smooth IPA - very floral and malty. Sweet citrus hop essence gave me the impression of mandarin and ripe grapefuit. Very nice IPA.

Mar 21, 2007 Preliminary notes (1st batch), Skookum taproom: Somewhat chunky (high cohumulone) bitterness. Woody hop character. Malts have a hint of darker breadcrust, and might be a bit husky. Brewer indicated he’d probably be dry-hopping this in the future and I figure that’s a good idea as the bitterness is nice but the aroma is a bit light on the hops for the style ’round here. Will revisit in the summer.
