One of the better ones from the evening. CLoudy orange color. This is what I think of when I think west coast IPA. Big floral aromas. Mellow bitter hop flavors. Nice grapefruit taste. Slightly sweet full bodied malt character.

Pint at PP Carlsbad with my friend, Tete. Light orange color. Small head, but nice small bubbles. Good IPA. Slightly above average score for IPAs I’ve tried lately. Very drinkable, would buy again if there isn’t something new to try.

22 oz bomber. Pours a slightly hazy light orange gold with a medium white head. Nice aroma of pineapple, apricots, pine and caramel. Taste is hoppy with a strong pineapple presence and hints of apricots, citrus, mango with a grassy finish. Very nice.

Pours a slightly hazy gold amber, with a small white head. Smells of big grapefruit hops, very floral, with citrus fruits in the background. The hops were fairly bitter, alot of that grapefruit, but nicely balanced here for a double IPA. The finish is pretty sweet, I get some brown sugar left on the palate and on the lips. The hops are definitely big, but there are other flavors as well, which made this beer quite enjoyable.

Thanks to Weeheavy for the bottle. Amber/orange color. Smell of hops, pine cones, grass, grapefruit, apricots, kiwi, minor caramel, malt and spice. Taste of lucious hops, malt, grapefruit, apricots, caramel, pine, earth, alcohol and a nice bitterness. Its a great Double IPA but a little light for me.

22 oz bottle traded with drewbeerme. Pours an orange yellow tall white head. Nose is really nice. Grapefruit/pine/carmel characteristics of a great IIPA. Medium bodied smooth carmelly and a little sticky. More of those PNW hops sweet carmel balanced well with a strong pine bitterness. Refreshing brew.

A slightly hazed light orange pour with a nice white head. An aroma and flavor that are dominated by the hops. The flavor has some malt but the hops carry this big muther through. A very good mouthfeel that compliments the hops and malt of this beer. very damn good.

Aroma is a massive pine and malt mix. Very bitter yet very sweet. Pours a hazy orange with a nice head. Flavor is assertive pine and heavy malty sweetness. Pretty balanced. Very big. Pretty damned good!
