May 10, 2007 Bottle, nice pine hop aroma, with some deep malts, good bitter taste, but still balanced by tasty malts. Good carbonation, quite nice really. A bit big for a session, but still very drinkable, with only a touch of metallic hops thrown in. I dig this brew.

Apr 2, 2007 Thanks to kenb for the trade. Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with small yeast floaties and an average size creamy off white head that left lots of lacing. Aroma of various citrus, caramel and grainy malts, nice malty/hop balance. Flavor of some pine and grapefruit, yeasty and some plastic. Some lingering hop bitterness and a little on the thin side. More of the caramel malt came out in thise one as it warmed up.

Mar 24, 2007 12oz bottle from neighbor. Pours a nice amber color, cloudy with an average size head. Hoppy aroma with notes of bread and citrus. Nice bittering hops bite, medium bodied a bit grassy with some carbonation fizz feel.

Mar 20, 2007 Tap... A slightly hazy, honey tone with a medium white, fluffy head. A nice hoppy aroma, and a well carbonated palate. Flavors of hops, mild malt, and a nice grainy, bread-like flavor that was very dominant in both the body and the finish. Very different from a lot of IPAs. I like this one a lot.

Mar 16, 2007 On tap at Bugatti’s in West Linn. Arrives a hazy gold with dense head. Aroma is classic northwest IPA; floral, citrus, and pine. Bitterness is matched well with sweetness and body is on the light side of full. A terrific lookout for my pizza.

Mar 14, 2007 Terminal Gravity IPA pours a hazy gold color with an orangy hue and has a pillowy pale yellow head. The initial head holds up well, but eventually collapses to leave a thin, dense crown and some puffy lacing on the glass. There is a lot of caramel, toasted malt, and delicate floral citrus in the aroma. The flavor seems to showcase the nice toasted caramel/toffee malt and first and then some hop flavor (grapefruit and lemon peel) and bitterness is gradually layed in. There is a slight yeast sourness in the bitter and spicy finish. The flavors and sweetness/bittereness level are balanced overall. The body seems right for the style and the carbonation is under control. This is a good IPA. I like the obvious presence of the English malts and the flavorful, yet somewhat subdued hoppiness. A classic IPA that will always hit the spot!
12 oz bottle from kenb. Thanks Ken!
