On tap at O’Brien’s in San Diego. Aroma a mild piney with fruity esters and mild bitterness. Color was a butterscotch-golden, very clear, with no head. Flavor was bitter, but not a very bitter bite but a warm sweet flavor. Very mild an unassuming. Maybe peach and pineapple with a slight bit of alcohol, but not hot. Overall very drinkable, exceptionally drinkable for an IPA. Recommended!!

Dec 13, 2009 22oz bottle. This stuff is good, like a baby brother to Sculpin. Pale golden color, light lacing. Nose is all pine, lemongrass, and peach. Great flavor, grapefruit, lemon, and tangy notes, very crisp. Has some fizz on the tounge, then seems to soften up. This beer is awesome, I wish I had another bottle.

Dec 10, 2009 Bomber from South Bay - thanks, Joey! I saw my man Turd rave about this and wondered if it was going to be all that. Check! Bubblegum and fragrant hops in the nose, big and inviting as is the luminous frothy pour. Such a soft and smooth palate on this one, tends to facilitate the complex interaction between sweet and bitter flavors. But then again, on some level it’s not so much about complexity as about the simplicity of pure enjoyment. Damn good.
