Cable (285), SE, Oklahoma, USA Jun 26, 2006 Sampled from bottle. Pours murky copper with a thin, white, scattered head. Aroma is bold with fresh grapefruit and some floral notes. Flavor is nicely bitter with heavy citrus, caramel candy and a piney hop finish. Full-bodied and wonderfully smooth. many of the Portland locals recommended this IPA - and for good reason. A wonderful beer.

K-8 caesar (2573), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands Sep 9, 2008 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. Ughsmash (3079), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Aug 27, 2008 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.
