Commercial Description:
Pale copper in color, but big in body and flavor with a heady hop character. The IPA uses spring water and snow melt from high in the Eagle Cap Wilderness. Terminal Gravity used over 50% Marris Otter pale ale malt imported from the British Isles for a traditional British flavor. It adds several other malts from the Northwest and Europe. TG IPA has over 2 pounds of hops per barrel, finishing with British Fuggles for that classic aroma.

Looks good, smells good, tastes bad. Left an astringent taste in my mouth. Aroma is of citrus.

Pours a murky sunburst orange with a purple hue and minimal off-white froth. Aroma of sweet lychee, citrus, juicy tropical fruits, light cedar. First taste is dull and woody, sweet lychee, bitter earthy hops. Medium body with some sharper carbonation.

Bizarre to find a Fuggles driven beer on the west coast, but I suppose there’s not much normal about a microbrewer based in the boonies of Eastern Oregon either. Starts sweet, finishes bitter. Very grassy and piney and just flat out tasty.

Bottled. Hazy orange golden color, medium off-white head. Aroma of fruit, hop, some bread, orange zest, bit caramel. Not bitter, but more fruity, some caramel, orange. Very soft.

Bottle. Poured hazy medium peach with a short-lived cap of white head. The aroma picked up orange zest and somewhat juicy lighter fruits over a simple caramel base.. sweet overall. The flavor had caramel and orange meat at the core surrounded by some orange bitterness and sharper, boozy floral notes.. finished shorter with rough alcohol and dry orange bitterness. Medium-bodied and sharper on the palate with low carbonation.. had a bit of kick on the finish.. not too well balanced.
