Pours a cloudy gold with off-white head.
Has very nice fruity aroma. Flavor has some grapefruit with a light sweetness and a nice bitter. Full mouthfeel, med-carbonation....Pretty good stuff! Tejas (696), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 14, 2008 Blonde, crisp, light, little dry and flowery. Didn’t find this big malty backbone but that’s ok. Bier brauen (213), Bremerton, Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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 (1587), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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 (219), Washington, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 8, 2008 Another overly bitter IPA, but without the reward of more interesting flavor profiles. Just liquid bitter and not much else. Naven (869), Poway, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | 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 (4020), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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 (2042), Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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
