Craft beer drinkers in North Idaho like their beer hoppy, and we brewed it to their liking. This beer is dry hopped with Galaxy hops to enhance the aroma.

16oz pint, at the original restaurant/pub in downtown Sandpoint - NOHO seems to be a shortening of Northern Idaho, for the lazy typist, at least.
This beer appears a slightly hazy, medium copper amber hue, with a very thin cap (around here, you say please and thank you for such service) of wispy off-white head that is really not worth talking about, which leaves a bit of receding cannonball splash lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of bready, rather fruity caramel malt, aged orange juice, pine needles, and further leafy, weedy, and mildly perfumed hops. The taste is grainy, doughy caramel malt, orange and white grapefruit pith, subtle pine resin, a growing biscuity cracker character, some flinty stoniness, and more leafy, grassy, and still slyly floral hops - the proclaimed alcohol doing well to conceal itself.
The carbonation is pretty low-key in its plainly supportive frothiness, the body a solid medium-heavy weight, and equitably smooth, the hops and shy-ass booze seeping through just a tad. It finishes off-dry, the big caramel/toffee malt easily parrying the lingering cavalcade of trendy hop bitterness.
The hop-crazy denizens of the Idaho panhandle should not fear, as their venerable local brewpub has got them covered. You may have to make your way into bucolic downtown Sandpoint, but it's worth it, for this brew, and the more cosmopolitan gruffness with which one is treated here.

Unfortunately poured in a plastic pint glass via tap, since I was on a patio. Not sure if that aides to the lack of head, but they poured it to the rim. Zero head, zero legs, very low carbonation.
Poured a dark caramel color, not much of an aroma (again the plastic?) sweet taste, it says IPA, but with an 8.0%, the color and sweetness I would say double/ imperial IPA.
Very drinkable, and better as a sipper but I did enjoy it on a summer day (80s).
Hoppy at first, lingers, but zero aftertaste.
