Aug 21, 2008 [1605-20080816] 355mL bottle. Aroma has a bit of citrus sweet lemon peel. Hazy, light brown orange body with quick white bubbles. Bit of hoppy grains flavour with some dark yeasty malt. Medium body. Good.

Aug 21, 2008 Beautiful amber pour with a beige head and good lacing. Nose is a subtle mix of floral, pine and earth. At first taste, the malt comes out, but is rapidly enhanced by the hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is clean and silky and the finish has hops echoing down the throat. I may have found a new favorite (I don’t know how I’ll break the news to Titan).

Aug 17, 2008 Never rated way back when. Had tonight again. Nothing like the Pliny from last night, but decent bitterness and hops. Not intense. But when Anderson Valley is a regular thing here in Missouri soon, it can serve as a session beer.

Aug 13, 2008 Bottle.This beer started with really bad impression after first smell and sip. But with every next sip it was rising in me. I don’t like head in it. Not pleasant in aroma and touch. Beer is yellow-brownish. Aroma is hoppy as hell. Flavour is of citrus and extremely dry and hoppy finish. After all - really pleasant beer to me :)

Aug 11, 2008 12oz bottle from Total Wine, Durham. This beer remains a pleasure to me, not just because it was one of my early craft beer faves but because I still find it a well balanced example of a Cali IPA. Nice bright orange pour with lots of carbonation. Pleasant citric aroma and a big body despite the fact that this is not the maltiest IPA.
