Dec 12, 2007 Draft at O’Brien’s. Nice head on a golden yellow pour. Aromas were what I had expected, but the flavor was a bit better. Lots of hops on the flavor. Citrus and some grassy flavors. Pretty good.

Oct 15, 2007 On tap at Ballast Point. Very faint aroma but the taste is very hoppy, very floral and very bitter. Not bad.

Oct 12, 2007 Tasted from tap at Churchill’s with Ivan, Tim, Aaron, and Dave. Pretty interesting to hear about an IPL, instead of the usual IPA. Wow, nice hoppy aroma. Surprizing. Fat thick head. Pale color. Creamy microbubble head. Nice level of hop bitterness.

Oct 12, 2007 Draft. Deep golden dark orange color with a small foamy white head. Candied citrus hop aromatics, with some floral sweetness. Crush of piney, citric metallic hop flavors up front. Astringent woody/grassy bitterness with a mild grainy malt pallor. Bitter, drying finish with lasting residual grassiness. Mouthfeel is light, rather dry.

Oct 9, 2007 Had a couple tastes from Officer’s pint at the Tap Room... Really wasn’t all that excited about this one. Crisp, drinkable, little more grainy than an ipa. Decent.

Oct 4, 2007 On tap @ Ballast Point (Linda Vista) - Pours a clear golden color with a small off white head. Decent lacing. Aroma is big citrus hops. Flavor has a good bit of hops up front with a smooth malt/grain finish. Light to medium body. I really like this one. Almost bought a growler fill of it, but went with the Dorado instead. *Sigh* A must try when available.
