Sampled at GCBF '10, pours yellow. More hoppy flavour than the India Red Ale, but with much to be desired in complexity. Drinkable.

Sampled at GCBF '10, pours amber. Aroma and flavour of caramel malts upfront, with the hops kicking in later. Decent.

Sampled at GCBF '10, pours yellow blonde with a white head. This one was sadly underwhelming - bland flavours of pale malt, rice and light hops. Not good.

I had this on tap at Apizza Scholls in Portland, OR. Aroma is rich in hops, as well as the taste. This is a fantastic IPA that’s lightly creamy and rich in more citrus hops. Great compliment to the pizza I had.

Shaker pint draft at the Dray in Seattle, Washington. Pour is a hazed orange amber copper with a light off white head. Nice streaking lacing. Aroma is pretty faint, as it opens up a bit, there is light resin and some grainy toasty malt. Taste is the resin hops up front, along with some floral fruit sweet hops, then followed closely by an earthy flinty element which finishes out with the toasty malt. Decent transition of flavors, though just ok integration. Palate is medium bodied, lightish carbonation, and a residual dirty earthy after taste.
