Sampled at the brewpub in a pint glass on September 26, 2010

Appearance 5/5
Poured clear, deep copper-red with a good white head, that had great retention and left an excellent lacing.

Aroma 4.5/5
Smells like a pine forest: piney, herbal and very fresh smelling ale, that seems generously late/dry hopped. Very inviting smell.

Taste 4.5/5
Full of hop flavor without being overly bitter: pine, lemon peel citrus, and grass. Nice, light, maltiness supports the hops pretty well. Finishes dry with a bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel 4.5/5
Very good, but a higher carbonation might help this beer. Otherwise perfect.

Drinkability 5/5
The best!

This American IPA is as good as any other. I am glad I got to try it! A hidden gem.
