Aug 5, 2009 Updated: Oct 7, 2009On tap at the Rose and Crown in Palo Alto. Pours a nice orange copper, not much aroma. Tastes like a good IPA, I have no real complaints.

Aug 4, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Norm’s, 8/4/09
Aroma: Big citrus, a bit of pine, some caramel. mostly the citrus hops
Appearance: Clearish orange-amber color, half inch of off white (almost tan) head, decent amount of lacing
Flavor: Bit more balanced then the nose, citrus/pine hops, with a nice caramel malt backing too
Palate: Medium body, nice mouthfeel, a bit oily, drinks really nicely
Overall Impression:
This is a pretty tasty IPA, it’s not out there really, standard IPA flavors, but it is nicely done, and hits on most of the notes I look for in a IPA. Maybe not the bitterness level of some other IPAs (definitely well balanced), but a nice example for sure. Well done here.

Jul 27, 2009 Piney hops dominate the aroma, giving way to caramel malts. The appearance, true to its style, is orange/amber, white head. The flavor is even nicer than the aroma, a blast of citrus, lemon, toffee, caramel. Good hoppiness, good malt backbone for balance. The finish, predictably, is a hop bittering, mainly of the grapefruit type, very nice. Nothing outstanding in the IPA style, but a solid brew which does credit to its makers.

Jul 25, 2009 At OBF, something about San Diego IPAs. maybe the fish oil, which doesnt enter into this flavor, resiny not fishy. slight palate thickness. good candidate for my 100th IPA review!

Jul 15, 2009 Bottle shared by Andrew at the NSSMNSLT. Pour was golden to slight amber, typical IPA head. The aroma was floral hops, some candy floral type elements. The flavor followed the aroma, pine and floral hops, perhaps a bit too strong for my preferences on the latter. The flavor also featured a residual sweetness that could have been cleaned up a bit. Nevertheless, I liked this brew, pretty easy drinker. Thanks!
