The BALANCED hop monster! This is one IPA with enough MALT BACKBONE to stand up to the high hopping level - 75 IBUs from 100% Columbus hops.

"Bottle courtesy 5000 / Larry Pitonka. Pour was typical for the style, nice initial head, decent retention, very good lacing in a glass that normally doesn't assist such things. The aroma was a citrus and piney hop blend. Flavor followed the aroma, a pretty simplistic IPA, yet pretty tasty and featuring an extra lingering bitterness (but not over the top) on the tongue. Mouthfeel was excessively carbonated, average to below average body for the style. A rather nice IPA, thanks for the opportunity on this one, Andre."

"A yellow apperance with a very large head. This one focuses to much on the lemon flavor for me to be wowed by it. It also has a strong grapefruit presence. Somewhat bitter but sweet also. It was alright."

[3] Review by beerguy101 from Newark, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/16/2005 11:17:57 PM)
"This IPA pours an orange gold color from a 22 oz bottle. A medium sized white foamy head with strong lacing. Aroma is fruity and floral hops. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are grapefruity, citrus and piney. The bitterness is way up there but it has a nice smooth malt middle. Nice creamy carbonation. This beer has that typical PNW IPA in your face hoppiness, yet there is a certain subtleness to it as well. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. "

"Wow, this is *nice*...! The rather dull looking label on the 22-oz bottle says nothing about how truely awesome this IPA is....! Perfect carbonation, nice dry hoppy front-end, smooth in the middle, and nice and refreshing in the finish. Reminds me a bit of Diamond Knot's various excellent IPA's. If I can get this locally, I would drink this all the time. As such, I have to special order this most excellent IPA. Regardless, yet another superior PacNW IPA...!

[5] Review by JaIce from Smyrna, Georgia, USA who has tried this beer (1/8/2005 1:16:47 AM)
"A nice copperesque feel to the color, followed up with a small amount of lasting head. Smells like a flinstones push up ice ice cream thing. NIce refreshing citrus/ hoppy flavor to it. Very smooth, could there be some carrots in this, there may just be."
