A hop lover’s delight! In the India pale ale tradition, this brew is very hoppy in both aroma and flavor from the generous amounts of Cascade hops used in brewing. Look for a medium to full body and golden straw color.

Hay nose with a dried leaf quality, approaching gasoline. Clear amber, thin white head, good lacing. Perfumey rosehip flavor. Powdery and resinous bread flour finish, but too bitter. Quite good and a nice diamond in the rough. Has character without being over the top.

This IPA poured a clear golden colour with a pretty good, bright white head. Scents include spruce, floral hopps and citrus. Smells like a hoppy one. First swig is smooth and has a mellow hopp bite to it. Very nice. I’m suprized this one isn’t rated higher. Flavours of lemon citrus, juniper and honey are at the forefront. Slight hoppy bitterness until the end.

Bottle. Orange color. Oily hoparoma with red berries, slightly perfumed. Firm oily hopbitter flavor with earthy notes, red berries and melon. Long fairly rough earthy bitter aftertaste. Loads of hops just held together by the fruit.

Bottle at EsBF09. Mild caramelly hoppiness, quite rough and not so pleasant. Clear amber colour, small white head. The flavour is a lot like the aroma, it has a little caramel, but not much of the grass that one would expect from an American IPA. Quite rough.

bottle - Pours clear copper with a medium sized head that laces pretty well. It has a citrus hop aroma. There’s a decent moderately hopped flavor. It’s a little light, but very drinkable and has a nice, bitter finish.
