[1] Review by beerdog from Delta, BC, Canada who has tried this beer once. (7/13/2008 12:11:42 PM)
"Another beer from Scuttlebut which I quite enjoyed. The body was an orangey-sort of mix, not a usual IPA hue, underneath a short-lived thin, off-white head. Aroma was better, showing off lots of hop but not in an overpowering was. The taste, however, was a different animal, with lots of hops in play but not so much as be a detriment. Mouthfeel and finish were both quite proper."

[2] Review by Smokin from Sharpsburg, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/26/2007 7:37:15 PM)
"A friend of mine brought me back several IPA's to sample from his recent trip to Seattle. This was not my favorite of the lot, but defintly not a bad beer. Appearance was unique for me at least, with a nice orange/brown color. Poured with a small head. Could distinctly smell the hops in this beer. Nice somewhat sweet initial flavor, could defintly distinguish the hopiness. However it seemed to leave somewhat of a bitter after tatse. I would defintly like to try this beer again to see if my opinion changes on it.

[3] Review by Gromit from Port Orchard, WA, USA who has tried this beer (3/4/2006 12:23:29 PM)
"Good, just not really good. Pours a light amber color with a good head and decent lace. Aroma is the first thing that caught my attention: I could smell the hops when I first popped the top. Very citric. Flavor is almost entirely hops with a little bit of malt, but not enough to balance it out. - and this is from a certified hophead. It’s sweet, but even that comes from the grapefruit/hops. Palate is very crisp. Other than that it’s average. Overall it’s just okay. I really wanted to like this one better, too. I’ll definately try others from this brewery."

[4] Review by beerguy101 from Newark, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/12/2005 10:22:27 PM)
"12oz bottle. Orange gold color. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is citrus and orange. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are orange and fruity. Hops are grapefruity, floral and piney. A big citrusy IPA. A touch harsh and crisp perhaps. Solid. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is bitter."

[5] Review by EyeChartBrew from CA, Liechtenstein who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/3/2005 8:17:25 PM)
"I travel to Everett a few times a year, to work on one or more of the Navy ships stationed at the Naval base there. And each time I stay at the Howard Johnson, and live in the Grand Roast and Ale House hotel bar. And it's there that I always make it a point to support the local brew -- Scuttlebutt most of all, and their most interesting IPA.
It's hard to be objective about PacNW IPA's, since they often tend to overlap in their various flavor profiles. After all, there are only so many different hop combinations that really work. But a few do stand out amongst the sea of massively hopped beers. And a member of this most elite PacNW IPA club would have to be Scuttlebutt's IPA.
Ok appearence, but things get rolling early with this one right from the get-go, with a nice pine-and-oak aroma. Hoppy, yes..., but with so much more, too. Nice things are coming with this IPA, that's for sure.
For flavor-profile, things continue on their merry way quite nicely. More pineyness, with the nut-sack shrivelling bitterness that forces you to sit up straight and pay attention to what's going on! Both the mouthfeel and drinkability of this are also very nice.
Overall, one of the many fine beers that I can only get by going up to the Puget Sound area. Recommended.
