This is a big, hoppy beer. Our IPA has a light amber color, strong hop flavor with assertive bitterness. Five varieties ofhops are balanced with a toasty malt presence.

Solid beer. Drove down from Reno. Nice flowery taste and aroma. Very hoppy. Glad we drove down to try this place.

Nice light copper color, not much head or lacing on this or any of their beers save the stout or 4'10" Jen maybe. Aroma was lacking, made me question if there is any dry hopping going on with this. Another common trait for their beers.
Ample bitterness, brings it in that department, seems to be long boil high alpha acid hops. Claims to be big and hoppy, and well, yeah, I guess, but its just so much more bitter than hoppy, the two are almost mutually exclusive with this beer. As good as any other ipa in Northern Nevada I guess.
EDIT: Just had another pint of this yesterday in between me & corpulent's 36 hole disc golf marathon and pond fishing day. Much better. Better taste and everything. Prior overall was 3.33
