Two Row and Munich malt lay the groundwork for a simple, medium bodied malt profile, while a combination of Northwest and Southern Hemisphere hops add a tropical, citrus bouquet. Let the character of the Northwest enchant your pallet with this quintessential example of what hop country has to offer. Alphadelic IPA, true Northwest.

Pours clear orange with a smooth head. Aroma of resinous hops, grass, pine, citrus and crisp malts. Taste is resinous hoppy, grassy and piney with some crisp maltiness and sweetish notes. Finish is crisp, bitter and resinous with some piney hops, herbal notes and citrus. A pretty typical, but tasty west coast IPA

Aroma is sweet and somewhat heavy with pineapples and tropical fruits. Also hints of caramel. Flavour has tropical fruits, aggressive hops, grapefruit and gooseberry bush. A bit unpleasant finish with harshly bitter herbal hops. Decent.

Bottle at the first Kinki Beer Tasting. I liked the classic fairly clear orange-gold color with a citrus-pine hop aroma. A medium body with a bitter pine taste & a dry finish. It’s a solid but unexceptional IPA.

Crisp, super hazy golden coloured body with a nice, two centimetre tall just off-white head that leaves a nice, slightly soapy lace. Aroma of bright grapefruity and pine hop smells, some light sugars, a bunch of yeast, a good dose of malt and a nice sticky resin smell at the end. Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy, herbal and piney hops show up front with a good malt backbone, some slight peach and apricot flavours and a smooth yeast and bready finish. Aftertaste has a smattering of hops with a great balance of malt and an assertive but not pungent or overpowering hop flavour. Overall, a very nice IPA with a solid flavour profile, a great balance and enough of the PNW hop style to be one of the better examples of an IPA that i’ve had in a long while. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Portland (Pearl), Oregon on 27-April-2013 for US$3.99 sampled at home in Washington on 21-June-2013.

Can at home, 09/06/13, from Newport Ave Market, Bend. Clear golden with a moderate frothy white head. Nose is caramel malt, hops, touch of soap, juicy tropical notes. Taste comprises bitter grapefruit, hops, over ripened mango, light pine bite, caramel malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, hop bitterness in the finish. Solid enough IPA.

Thanks to the Boise crew. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. A nice citrus and caramel nose. The flavor is very smooth: caramel, oranges, light lemons, earthy. Very drinkable.

On tap at Bailey's Taproom, pours a hazy golden with a small beige head. Aroma of piney and citrusy hops, and just enough crackery malts. Flavour is robustly hoppy, with loads of piney and resinous hops, and a moderate biscuit malt backbone that doesn't lend any flavour. Unadventurous, but remarkably well-made IPA. Great stuff.
