Aug 20, 2008 (bottled) Big, but vanishing fluffy, white head and clear amber-golden body. The aroma is full of hops, and grass, but it also has some sweetness. I can taste the hops, but it is not really very bitter; slightly sweet, very refreshing. The finish is dry though, and has more hop bitterness. Light to medium bodied. Not what I expected, but quite good. Tasty, but it’s hard to call it an IPA.

Aug 7, 2008 Quickly descending head that leaves a faire lacing. It has a nice light amber body. Doughy and citrusy aroma. The taste is slightly sour, but overall mostly malty. There is some hop presence, but not enough for it to be called an IPA. This beer tastes mostly like a good ESB. Slightly sweet and bitter elements, with a metallic finish.

Aug 2, 2008 Lovely honey color, average head, mild lacing, pleasant non floral nose, a bit thin in the palate. Light on bitterness in keeping with its place of creation. Pleasant enough, but somewhat light for my palate.

Jul 26, 2008 Poured a cloduy orangish yellow color with a white head. Aroma was very malty, much like an english IPA. Flavor was much the same, not so much a bad beer, but for an APA not very balanced

Jul 26, 2008 Clear gold body with a small head with little to no lacing. Pine/Spruce hoppiness that is not too dry. Light body with an average duration and a light bitterness. Well balanced not as hoppy as most IPA beers. This was very refreshing surprise.

Jul 21, 2008 Pours clear gold with a decent white head. Sharp, peppery hops that actually smell like a thistle. Astringent hop taste, reminiscent of an English IPA, with a decent amount of orange citrus flavors, and a sweeter, honey-malt finish. A pleasant surprise.

Jul 15, 2008 Bottle from BevMo La Mesa. Pours a light copper color with a good sized head that left great lacing. Great piny and citrus hop aroma. Flavor was a bit too malty thus making the beer a bit unbalanced in my opinion.
