his Northwest style IPA is generously hopped to 60 IBU’s with Centennial hops from the Yakima Valley. Brewed in the classic style with two-row Pale and Crystal malt, our IPA is a real thirst quencher. It has a full, malty body and there’s even a hint of fresh citrus to it. Perfect after your favorite water sport. Even if that happens to be the grueling drag-the-poolside-lounge-chair-into-the-sun event.

This red tinged golden brew throws up a tall head of creamy white that sticks around for a good bit before easing down. The aroma is fruity with a bit of yeast and a subtle blend of malt and hops. Dry palate in which the malt never blossoms with a long bitter finish. A bit out of balance. Thanks to droopy49 for this.

Very bright golden-amber colour. The aroma is orangey, biscuity, kumquaty with a breadcrusty background. Mild hop-accented character with an ashy, slighlty astringent bitterness, mere hints of orange and a firm but simplistic pale malt note. A very basic, serviceable IPA but nothing more.

On draught at Falling Rock, 9/30/2005. Served in a shaker, it has a light peach-fuzz yellow color to it, with a smattering of white head atop, not very abundant and recedes to a ring fairly quickly. Beer is clear, with moderate sized bubbles rising. Aroma has a nice, soft yellow fruits and light pale malt sugariness. Light tangerines, nectarines, peaches and fresh apricot juice, with an aromatic floral nature. Overall, not a tremendously strong aroma. Flavor continues with the fruit, adding more tangerines and nectarines, with a medium to medium-light body, gentle and supportive of the moderate hops. A moderate carbonation, lively, touch watery texture confirm that this is indeed a simple, session ipa. Not too dry or too bland, however, the hops are refreshing and present enough to satisfy me.

Bottle Pours a bright clear orange/amber with a thick creamy off white head. Lots of clinging lacing. Aroma is an up-front hops but tamed or subdued a bit with a wody malty sweetness. Flavors are a fairly strong but ballanced hops and malt medley. Tasty and refreshing. It works for me

Orange tint to a golden body with a fairly small off-white head. Subtle hoppy aroma, which is almost barren of malt or any other characteristics. The taste is mostly piney from the hops, while some citrus hoppiness is noticeable. The hop bitterness lingers for quite a while after you have the last sip. The beer's taste was very balanced with hops and malt throughout the taste and palate. Not as hoppy as I had expected for a West Coast brewery, but it was pretty good anyways. I thought this was more of an APA more than an IPA, but maybe it was just this keg!? I had this on tap at the Falling Rock Tap House on 11-August-2003 in Denver, Colorado.
