Davecooks (1150), Bay Area, California, USA May 24, 2008 Draft at 21st. Clear, bright copper color with a white head. Piney hop aroma with some strawberry and grapefruit notes. Very light malt presence and light body with a big hop bitterness and a resinous pine flavor. A session IPA! bb (2168), Martinez, California, USA Nov 29, 2006 Draft. Golden amber beer with an off-white head. Sweet summer fruit and citrus aroma. Summer fruit, grapefruit, piney hop flavor with some decent malt backing. Lingering fruity/piney hops. Medium bodied. SDbruboy (1822), San Diego, California, USA Oct 25, 2006 On draft at brewpub. Arrived in the glass a clear golden amber, with a creamy head and light lacing. Aroma dominated by citrus hops, grapefruit and pine with faint notes of toasty malts. Flavor is also hop-centric, again some light toasty malt sweetness, with massive grapefruit rind, spruce and lemon hops - a bit unbalanced for my tastes, but definitely a hop bomb. Light body and prickly / creamy carbonation.
