Dec 22, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pour was dull, hazy gold with very little white head. Nose was citrus, hops, caramel, yeast, and light pine. Taste up front is malt, yeast, and caramel. This is followed by an instant rush of citrus, hops and a bitter flowery bouquet of a finish. This is a very good brew that that excels in every area.

Dec 21, 2009 I picked up this one in Asheville, NC at Bruisin’ Ales.
Pours a hazy/yellow with a good head retention. Smells a little sweet, but like a citrus/hoppy sweetness. The taste of this beer is on spot! This is my kind of IPA, it is full of hop flavors without tons of bitterness. This makes me like this beer. As for Mouthfeel and Drinkability, this is one to drink at a Happy Hour!
Great IPA. I am going to be in N.California in about six months, I will visit this brewery.

Dec 21, 2009 Great beer! Wonderful hop finish. It has the whole grapefruit thing going on. If you can find it on tap it is worth the trip to taste it. I was able to find it in Cincinnati at a pub around the university. Living in Southeast Indiana doesn’t give you a whole lot to pick from. You California people have got it made! A brewpub on every corner.

Grapefruit all the way, American IPA at its best. Crisp mouth feel, long finish.

Dec 15, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a lightly hazy golden orange with a pillowy white head. Aroma is super fresh citric fruit, delectable and very inviting. The hop presence is really juicy and the aromatic oils dance through the nostrils. A clean crisp malt backbone provides support. Flavor starts with a sweet citric tangerine, nectarine and mango presence. Fades to a more sharp grapefruit and bitter but not harsh piney hop character. The sweetness really remains throughout and perfectly balances the hops into a smooth and sweetly bitter (bittersweet) finish. Bittersweet because I’m one sip closer to the end of it! Nice medium to full body and a softer carbonation. Excellent beer!

Dec 13, 2009 12oz bottle poured into a trappist glass produced a nice white foamy head, amber body, and some nice lacing. The smell is a bit hoppy with some nice cirtus notes. The taste is very hoppy at the beginning with some nice malt flavor rounding out the flavor and evening out the taste. The beer is nice and crisp. A bit sharp at first but not overpowering and left a pleasant bitterness on the palate.
