Pours a half finger of head on a cloudy straw body.
The aroma is nil... maybe a little caramel.
The taste is a thicker bitterness, lots of malt and sweetness.
The texture is sticky.
Not that great as an IPA, it has an okay malty side though.

Had this at Puyallup River brew house. On tap in a cold glass.
Appearance is a golden brown with decent amount of head. Smell is a tangy bitter hoppiness that hints at the flavor. Taste is a delightfully bitter hop heads dream. Slight pine resins, some grapefruit after taste with a very mild sweet sugar cookie finish. A very easiy do drink beer that could only be improved by a bit more carbonation. Mouth feel was just a bit watered down. Could have been the bottom of a keg.
A very sessionable beer.

Picked up a 12 oz single from my favorite beer store: Norm's Keg And Bottle, Lk. Stevens, WA. This is a great place for singles and they fill growlers also. Mix-a-six pack. $1.80 for this one.
Poured into a snifter glass, nice dark caramel color, looks good!
Taste starts out great, but leaves a bitter finish.
Its brewed in Sunnyside, Wa. home of the incredible NW hops. I liked it, and will look for it again.

Pours like a brown ale almost - so dark. Sheet of light tan foam. Smells of english, almost winter warmer malts, some hops are there, but reserved. They smell tea/herbal. Taste is bitter with some herbal character and some cardboard. Flavor seems pretty one dimensional - bitter malt. Medium bodied with hi carb and a dry finish. Too bad, I've heard good things about this brewery.

Bought a 12 Fl. Oz. bottle of this from The Beer Shoppe in Yakima, WA for $1.90. Poured from the Blue/Green Labeled bottle w/ a cattle skeleton head on the front into a 16oz Arcadia IPA Pint Glass. Has no freshness date to be found on the bottle.
Aroma- Nice hops, citrus fruits, and light piney characters. Not dry hopped but sweeter on the nose.
Appearance- Pours a 1.5 finger head that has good head retention. Has a reddish copper colored body with semi-haziness. Leaves good lacing behind.
Flavor- Both citrus and light pine come through once again but very easy. Medium bitterness at the finish and sweet. No character overpowers any other one.
Mouthfeel- Light-Medium Bodied, Medium Carbonation, Smooth, and has a sweet, hop flavor on the finish.
Overall Impression- A very fresh and light hopped up IPA! Enjoyed how easy going it was for the time of day I was enjoying this. Would like to have more from this brewing company!

Poured into a Seattle Beer week pint glass. Pours a medium orange amber with a thin, off-white head that dissipates quickly into a ring around the glass and slight lacing. Aroma of sweet malt, pineapple and citrus hops. Flavor is moderate bready and caramel malt, light citrus hops. Pleasant, but hops are subdued, would like a bit more fresh hop flavor in a IPA. Light to medium bodied.
