[At GABF 2004] A hazy orange beer with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet and very grassy and hoppy, while the flavor contains lots of hop oils, with a dry grassy end.

Bottled with Bristol bottlecap. Amber colour with a very thin (1 centimetre) tan head which dissipates quickly. Very thick bodied in the pour...appears to be a very nice beer. Very strong, grassy, floral hops are very pleasant and DEFINATELY mouth watering. Medium-bodied; Grassy taste with a perfect balance between the malt and hops, but the hops come out and play very nicely. Strong floral presence, a bit piney and definately citrusy. I'm really glad I picked up this beer when I was out in Colorado, this is one of the best IPAs i've had recently! The aftertaste is pretty bittering, but in a good sense. Definately try this if you can find it! I wish I could have another bottle or two, but since I got it on a trip, i'm lucky to have one! Overall, this is better than the average IPA, especially from the east coast. I bought this twelve ounce bottle from Liquor Mart in Boulder, Colorado...but carted it back out to Washington, and it still tastes great!!!
