Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

UPDATED: JAN 7, 2010 Orange with a foamy white head. I found this overly sweet and caramelly without enough hop aroma and bitterness to counteract it. A little watery. This is not too bad in a pinch, and it gets a little higher score from me because I found it much better on draft. Still, theres way better options in the Northwest for IPAs.
Bottle. Pale slightly cloudy orange with small head. No lacing. Slightly sharp hop aroma. Malt body was rather thin and a little too sweet for the style. The hop taste was also subdued for an IPA. I found the hop taste more floral than bitter. Ok mouth feel. Nothing special.
Pours golden with a decent off-white head and pineish (is that a real word?) aroma. Its light on caramel malt, but heavy on the hops. So what you have is a bitter but lackluster beer.
