Jun 14, 2002 I am (once again) sipping as I’m writing. I think I possibly just discovered my favorite beer. I love the strong hoppiness and the rich body. Great bite and nice aroma and...I love the label. Very 1920’s. This IPA is the best beer I’ve tasted in a very long time. Run out and get it if you can. I found my bottle at Trader Joes.

Sep 24, 2007 Delicious fruity and hoppy - similiar to Smuttynose IPA Despite being so damn hoppy it is very drinkable. Cheers to the North Coast Brewery!

Jul 12, 2008 Poors a medium-high bodied copper with a decent head on it. The hops waft up from this baby high avove the glass--mmm! It’s slightly bitter and citrusy on the palate and just taste mostly of pure hops, perhaps with some caramel. The hops are pleasingly bitter on the back of the throat and it’s full flavor hits you. Although heavy it’s still a very drinkible beer, and a superb IPA. Would definitely get it again. (not sure why this one has so many low-ish ratings--I didn’t find this brew weak in neither scent nor flavor!)

Aug 21, 2003 Good IPA. Pours out of the bottle with a perfect head and nice carmel color. As expected, hops are in abundance but this is what I prefer in a beer. One of my favorite IPA's!

May 2, 2004 Maybe its just me, but after driving for 2 hours on the coast highway last summer the North Coast Brewery was a site for soar eyes. I love IPA’s so i had a couple pints and it was well worth the drive.

Aug 22, 2004 BottleThis was hoppy, sweet and delicious. My first taste was of skunkweed :) Reminds me a lot of Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale...one of my favorites. The only difference was the aroma wasn’t as pronounced as the SNCA.

Jun 20, 2006 Had a bottle of this one day last week. I think it was after work Thursday night. Nose of
pine resin, flowers, and a bit of dried fruit thrown in for good measure. Pours a clover
honey. The sticky fluffy off-white head is mostly lasting with good lace. The flavor is
incredible for the style. Much richer and deeper than I am used to for a single IPA.
Coffee, dried fruit, and nut tones waltz on the tongue. The finish is incredible. The
medium body is dry, and soft with an astringent feel to the finish. I am startled by the
lowish ratings for this brew. Highly recommended.
