Commercial Description:
The Perfect Storm Double IPA celebrates the rich traditions of brewing in the Northwest. The perfect storm of six different hop varieties combine to create a substantial ale with a clean finish. A proprietary blend of regional and European barley malts balance the hop bitterness while allowing the hop flavors to dominate.

On tap at the 2007 GABF: Pours a transparent deep golden with a frothy, clingy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of fresh resiny grapefruity hops and sweet pale malt. Body starts with a light malty sugary sweetness with a nice, fresh grapefruity bittering and flavor hoppiness toward a crisp, bittersweet finish. A pretty good IIPA.

GABF 2007: Poured a lightly hazed gold with an off-white head. Huge tangerine hops. Smelled fresh like it was pulp. Smells like a breakfast drink. the flavor was very nice citrus and big pine mixed with caramel malt. Medium to full bodied.

Tap @ the GABF. Very nice orangy aroma. Taste is all orange hops, slight malt, and slight astringency. Solid.

On tap at the PDX Green Dragon. Big grapefruit hop flavor and aroma. Bitter and crisp. Enjoyable, but my favorite IIPAs have more sweetness to them. Pours hazy orange with a small white head.
