Brewed with Santiam hops. Beautiful golden color with an enthusiasm of foam in the pint shaker. Very fragrant with carnations and ripe papaya. Taste is bright and tangy. Light and refreshingly watery body.
Fairly bitter, and a long bitter aftertaste. Faintly tart and hot, with the malt just kissing the lips sweetly. A touch of mango, but more whispers of pine. Hot and a little woody but clouds of tangerine, cedar, and raw green beans. On tap, cask version, at the brewery restaurant.

Fruity tangerine with very bitter finish.

A decent IPA, not blowing any minds here though. This is very hop forward with little malt backbone. Little else in the way of flavor though.

Light orange in appearance. Smells a bit like fruit. Melon and grapefruit to be precise. Very thin head with slight lacing on the glass. Overly bitter but not the heavy kind of bitter. Has that floral zing that good ipas have.
Not too heavy body either.
Good beer, but in this style, particularly in this area, the bar is set pretty high. Not at the same level as Alpine or Russian River.
