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.

Amber colored, decent lacing and retention. Aroma is citrus, grapefruit, caramel. Moderate bitterness, moderately dry. Decent but unexciting.

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy copper, small head. Big hoppy citrus nose. Flavor is mainly grapefruit and pine notes. Meduim mouthfeel and carbonation. Long bitter bite that lingers on and on. Very easy to drink and a great representation of a PNW IPA.

Very rich and creamy ipa. Mild sweetness with a strong, earthy, almost nutty, component. Grapefruit citrus evident with a touch of mellow pine and a great roasted malt profile. Very well balanced and very enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours clear golden orange with a lacy white ring of foam. Aroma is primarily grapefruit, but there is some pine and toffee in there as well. Medium-light body and medium carbonation. The taste is what my nose led me to predict. Dry grapefruit pith and pine finish with lingering bitterness.

Eh...not saying this is a bad beer...just not a great one. Aroma is a bit weak although displaying both pine and citrus. Nectarine in color with an eggshell head. Flavor is a little rough...not as smooth as the best-in-class. Grapefruit, lemon zest, resin and a touch of honey sounds good but tastes average.

Poured a cloudy dark amber having a small white head. Has a pleasent aroma of fruity hops but not strong. The flavor has that upfront hoppy character that all hopheads love, having a somewhat strong hoppyness with hints of grapefruit then ending on a semi-dry bitterness. This is a pretty solid IPA. Very refreshing and tasty.

Bottle from Belmont Station. Pours hazy amber. The aroma has hints of grapefruit and softer citrus as well as quite a bit of noticeable pale malt. Flavors of medium citrus bitterness, grapefruit, orange, lemon with lots of pale malts lending a bread/toast aspect to this one that is pretty strong. More hops in the finish. Grapefruit and citrus are pretty predominant. Pretty simple and straightforward, but a nice Northwest IPA that I would not hesitate to drink again. Seemingly more hoppy than many in this area.
