| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 6, 2005 12 oz bottle received as a bonus beer in a trade with DarkElf - Thanks Stephen! - Pours amber and cloudy with a nice offwhite head that settled quickly back to a film and laced it’s way down the glass. Aroma is buttery, apricot, some toffee. Flavor is a nice blend of cereal malts and citrus hops. Some notes of frosted flakes, caramel, and apricot with a touch of grapefruit. Palate is smooth and very drinkable. AlabastorJones (765), San Francisco, California, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 27, 2005 Beer pours lightly cloudy apricot color with a totally retained, creamy off white head that sticks very nicely to the glass. Aroma is grassy, hoppy with a nice cereal malt undertone. Flavor is delicously hoppy, but is also has a wonderful malt backbone that compliment the hops really well. This is the kind of beer I could drink every day. Kevin (1918), Colorado, USA

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 25, 2005 Had this on tap at a couple of different pubs in Portland. It had a hazy color with a bit of a head. Very strong grapefruit aroma - Yum. This is really a great example of what I’ve come to expect with respect to NW IPA’s.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 24, 2005 Hazy, darkish amber, irregular lacing. Some malts here, but overall the pine effect is so dense as to create a distinct tea flavor...tea tea tea, with some mint. Moderate palate. I’ve seen this kind before and the net effect isn’t that satisfying by my palate, at least. Lumpy (1802), Carrollton, Texas, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 23, 2005 Bottle. Nose-cereal, rotten melon, pine. Taste-very bitter up front, nicely lacking in sweetness. Too one sided and simple. Good use of malts, which earn it some bonus points. Mildly thin. legion242 (1577), Richardson, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 22, 2005 Orange color. Wispy head. Nose of orange and pine. Typical PNW IPA. Lots of citrus followed by some of that pine. Sorta sweet. PNW IPA’s SUCK ASS!!!!!!!!
