A Northwest interpretation of a classic English style, golden copper in color and loaded with New World hop flavor and aroma. Extremely drinkable.

Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured a hazy orange-amber color with a medium sized orange-white head that left great lacing. The aroma was faint nut, caramel and vague fruity hops. The flavor was bitter with notes of caramel, nut and vague fruity and perfumey hops. The finish was short, bitter and a bit fruity. Medium body. Underwhelming.

2011-03-01, draught at the Hog Shack Cookhouse, Richmond, BC, 7-4-7-3-13=34
Hazy golden color; medium sized creamy head. Mild toffee and hop aroma, a bit citrusy. Smooth mouthfeel, toffee flavor, respectable bitterness, but not very refreshing. The bitterness is quite aggressive in the end. Not balanced as the bottled version, not refreshing as other IPAs.
2011-02-28, bottle from Liberty Wine, Robson St., Vancouver, 7-4-7-4-16=38
Hazy light amber color; small head. The aroma is mild, with some toffee and hops of medium intensity. Very good toffee flavor, with a lean and fairly dry mouthfeel; strong hopping, of good quality, where the mild resins appear more than the fruits; light flavor of apricots. Long and strong final. A good refreshing beer, balanced, not extreme.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange with a medium, white head. Hoppy aroma of earth and pine, with decent malts as well. Fairly sweet flavor up front, then a strong hop character comes through with grapefruit and more earth. Medium in body with soft carbonation. Pretty nice overall.

Hoppy IPA has a little kick to it. Typical resin amber pour. Slightly floral hoppy nose. Rated 10/25/09

The Immortal IPA pours a middle-of-the-road golden color that’s true to style. The thick, foamy head leaves copious lacing. The smell is dominated by a citric-floral hop aroma. There’s a touch of caramel malt, but it’s mostly a fairly sweet hop-forward aroma. The flavor just really doesn’t work for me. I like aggressively hoppy IPAs, and this beer does not fit that bill. On the other hand, the malt flavor isn’t strong enough to carry things, either. The malt is more bready than caramel.

Bomber with many thanks to scrizzz. Pours a clearish gold with a little bit of an orange hue to it. Head is pretty thin (less than a finger of sudsy foam) and aromas are heavy with tropical fruit - lemon, mango, maybe some tangerine. Flavor has quite a bit of this \"tropical fruit\" with a nice pine/resin bite in the finish. At times it tastes ever so slightly soapy, but it seems to vary a little by the sip. This is pretty good stuff.
