22 oz bottle poured, picked up during my visit to the brewery. Listed at 7.2%, 80 IBU. Wasn't planning on picking up any bottles during my brief visit, but while walking out the front door, I couldn't resist the cooler next to the exit full of these bombers priced for under $5 a bottle. I'll pay four bucks for a bomber of absolutely anything, especially some new IPA. A bright golden pour with a slight haze. A pine forward, citrus secondary hop filled aroma. Flavor is a good balance of bready malts and citrus fruit hops. Quite the refreshment with this. A solid, more classic IPA if you ask me. Enjoyed this.

On tap at golden Valley brewing. Pours out a copper topped with a sand head. Nose is pine herbal notes and a bread malt. Taste is more of the pine hops some grapefruit pithy bitterness on the end.

On tap at Golden Valley, pours a clear golden copper with a small beige head. Aroma reveals notes of piney hops, some herbal notes and biscuity malt. Flavour is high on the herbal hops, with floral and piney hops further back - just enough dry malt backbone. Leaves a light bitterness on the finish. Well-constructed IPA, but I preferred the Chehalem.

Draft - Lots sweet malts and Sri out hops. Clear gold with a decent white head. Lots of sweetness and a really big and long bitter finish. Bitterness is a bit overwhelming and unpleasant.

Keg at the brewpub in Beaverton, 11/11/14. Clear golden with a moderate off white spotting and edgework. Nose is orange squash, juicy hops, light pine, grapefruit tinge. Taste comprises orange pith, hoppy pangs, melon, straw, juicy citric peel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with hop bitterness. Ok IPA.

Bottle. Brown red pour with thick head. Strong pine and citrus note in aroma. Flavour has a caramel streak, rather pleasing in an IPA. Light and speedy finish.
