HighWine (163), , California, USA Aug 13, 2009 Tap. Dark gold with a super thick white head. Nose is faint pine and citrus that grows into resin. First taste was without any great features. Second taste is a mouthful of hops. Refreshingly bitter. TheSponge (272), Lynnwood, Washington, USA Aug 6, 2009 22 oz. bottle purchased at QFC in Mill Creek, WA. Pours a BEAUTIFUL amber color with a thick off-white head. Aroma: Bold hops, grapefruit, and pine. Flavor: Sweet malt and citrus. jake65 (1657), Williston, North Dakota, USA Jul 31, 2009 Bottle: Pours a light citrusy looking gold color with a thick, fluffy beige head. Aroma is lightly malty at first, but grows into a sweet, citrusy, and floral blend. Lots of floral hoppiness up front with some lingering citrus and caramel malts. Finishes rather dry and filled with lingering bitters. shigadeyo (2210), Harrison, Ohio, USA Jul 25, 2009 11/07/2007: Snoqualmie Falls Wildcat India Pale Ale loos thick. There is a great shimmering effect as the bubbles rise through the orange liguid to the surface. On top is a lasting off-white crown that creates great lacing on the glass making each drink. Succulent grapefruit along with a hint of the underlying toffee malt excite the nose. This beer has a thick toffee and caramel maltiness in the flavor that is immediately followed by a hefty grapefruit hoppiness. There is a mild to moderate bitterness that this blaanced by the sweetness in the finish. This beer has medium to medium-full body and a smooth, if not a bit oily, texture. This is a great IPA worth having again and again!
1 pt. 6 Fl. Oz. bottle (Alc. by Volume 6.6%) from 5000 via trade. Thanks! Rating #201 for this beer.
highibus (421), Mill Creek, Washington, USA Jun 27, 2009 Lightly hazy deep straw color with large and steady white head. A little light on aroma. But I am a little stuffy. Initial flavor is a quick burst of hops that is midigated by the malty sweetness. Balances well. Plenty of hops but no where overbearing. Really nice hop finish. darn1207 (528), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jun 27, 2009 on tap at some diner in fremont, seattle. hazy gold-orange pour with good sized white head. earth hop, grapefruit, perfume aroma. sweet candied fruit and perfume in the taste. long bitter finish. K6.5 scrizzz (1250), kirkland, Washington, USA Jun 26, 2009 Honey gold, tall pretty white head. Tropical hop aroma comes through all that thick spongy barrier. More complexity than I expected from a single hopped beer. Sturdy malt base, full leafy grassy zingy hop finish. Aubrey (2773), Denver, Colorado, USA Jun 12, 2009 Nice appearance. Decent texture, albeit a little light. Starkly toasted malts. Chalky caramel. Some orange with a bit of rind. Grassy-citrusy hops. OK, just not overly exciting, IMO.
