look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Pours a hazy orange color, with a creamy colored foamy head that laces well. It's opaque, definitely bottle conditioned.

The aroma is sweet citrus fruits, splashes of floral hoppiness and a bit of bready malts. Not overly pungent, but it's quite pleasant.

The taste has a nice strong bitter bite to it at first, moving then to a citrus and grapefruit note, some flowery notes and a spicy, woody note. I'll bet that last taste sensation can be thanks to the Louisville Sluggers.

Nice crisp carbonation, lighter in body, rather refreshing.

Overall, it's a rather splendid little IPA. Doesn't hurt as well that it's a good cause.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

A: Poured a crystal clear yellowish orange color with a nice white cap, bubbles and nice lacing

S: A wallop or fresh orange peel and lemon zest. How refreshing!

T: Fresh citrus is immediate, fresh orange peel with some secondary lemon zest, a very light grass note with a nice but subtle bittering hop finish. Clean, refreshing and crisp

M: Medium bodies, well carbonated, I did detect a bit of soapiness on the back end

: Solid IPA all the way and I can't believe I have not souhgt this beer out before. Would and will drink again. Fremont keeps getting better and better!

22 oz. bottle poured into a straight pint glass. Notes from August 28th, 2011.

A: The beer pours a deep orange hue with nice clarity, no real haze present. There was a one finger head of off-white foam on top, with strong lacing remaining throughout.

S: The aroma is a wonderful blend citrus and pine hops, with a bit vanilla, maple and caramel malt lingering in the background.

T: An initial caramel malt taste makes way for some pineapple and apricot hop flavor. The sip is eventually rounded out with just a hint of vanilla and maple flavors.

M: Medium-light body with with decent carbonation. Alcohol not present at all.

O: Not your standard wood-aged brew. Having the beer rest on maple baseball bats is quite clever, and imparts a truly unique flavor to this IPA. Although Chris Ray is no longer with the Mariners, I sure hope we see this around Seattle once more this coming summer.

Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a medium coppery orange amber. Massive fine white head that kept growing from active carbonation, ended up looking like a shaving cup. Very cool looking. Aroma of citrus and herbal hops, faint light fruit and malt. Hops up front with tropical fruit and citrus. Malt component is very light. Very faint oak flavor. Finishes somewhat dry and abruptly, but leaves a lingering orange citrus and hop aftertaste. Light bodied, but redeemed by the carbonation. Somewhat subdued in flavor, but interesting flavor progression and very pleasant to drink.

22oz bottle poured into a pint glass

Pours clear bright golden with a nice clumpy head. Smell is mild but hoppy. Honeysuckle and flowers, some nice sweetness.

Taste shows off the hops a lot more, with a little spicy character getting into it. Nice and crisp.

Mouthfeel is light and clean. Overall, I like this beer.

Another bottle I was happy to find this past weekend in Seattle.
22oz poured into a Pint glass.

A - Pours a clear, dark orange with a 3/4 finger cream-colored head. Good retention and some lacing is left on the glass.

S - Citrus up front mixed with some floral tones, they are almost candy like.

T - Floral again, some slight woody-tartness. A leafy - earthiness lingers in your mouth.

D - Very oily in the mouth. Good carbonation.

O - Good taste, but the bitter leaf taste just linges to long.

Had this on tap last weekend & put up a quick review from memory, then found a bottle the next day so I wanted to give it a more thorough review. (just deleted previous review)

22oz bottle (no dates or codes, but fresh) poured into a tulip. Slightly hazy orange/copper color with a nice white head, good lacing.

Aroma is bright tropical fruit: oranges, pineapple. Smells really good.

Taste is crisp, clean hops and pale malt. Less citrus than in the nose, but still a really nice balance.

Overall not a top-tier but still a solid local brew. That this beer supports a great cause makes it taste that much better.
