Bier brauen (210), Bremerton, Washington, USA Jul 13, 2008 I consider this a pretty balanced IPA. Maybe just a tad bitter in the finish (I prefer that fresh hop flavor and aroma, with less grapefruit). But overall, a good craft brew. Sparky27 (1559), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jul 11, 2008 Bomber. Pours a semi-hazy gold with some floaters and a big 3 finger marshmallow head. Nice, delicate lacing. Nose is grapefruit and forest. Taste is sour grapefruit and resin – not much malt presence to speak of accept maybe right up front. Medium mouth feel. Lots of hops in this one – nice brew. killjoy966 (215), Washington, USA Jul 8, 2008 Another overly bitter IPA, but without the reward of more interesting flavor profiles. Just liquid bitter and not much else. Naven (864), Poway, California, USA Jun 30, 2008 22 oz bomber from Bitbucket. Cloudy, amber pour. Looks really killer. Nose is pure hops. Flavor is supremely hoppy, bordering on overly bitter. But there is a nice balance of malt to smooth things out. Pretty well done IPA. Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Jun 24, 2008 On draught at the brewery taproom in Snoqualmie, WA. Pours a clear golden pale brew with a creamy off-white head that slowly dissipates and leaves behind some excellent lacing. Aroma of grapefruit zest, multi-grain crystal malt and touch of lemon. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with a nice bitterness of lemon and grapefruit and a touch of pine. Finish is semi-dry and long lingering bitterness that even has a slight sweet aftertaste after the finish. SpringsLicker (2041), Tennessee, USA Jun 22, 2008 Thanks to Riverside AK for sending this one.
A pour of clear gold, holds up a tall, long lasting mostly white head.
Light floral hop aroma.
Slightly bitter on the flavor spectrum, with a good malt support.
A bit thin Angeloregon (2024), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 9, 2008 From a 22 ouncer purchased at By The Bottle-- bright. semi-hazy body with a glowing orange-golden body. Chunkage at the end, but overall a sticky, lupulin bomb of a beer. Tangy, bitter, and aggressive on a primordial level. God Damn I Love Beer! XO fishingnet (1045), Brandon, Florida, USA May 31, 2008 Bottle courtesy tpd975. Pours a clear copper with a one finger white head that fades leaving good lacing. Aroma of floral hops, sweet malt, and light caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Very good.
