Dec 21, 2009 On tap @ Breakwater. Clear amber with a one finger White head, creamy with fair retention. Herbal grapefruit rind hops dominate with a mild caramel backbone. Wow--I’ve never had so much weed in the flavor before. Some citrus rinds are also present, but the weed dominates. Drier than the Maverick, bitterness at a 6-7. Minimal caramel noted, this is all West Coast. I’m also picking up on more dry-hopping as it warms. Medium body with moderate creamy yet prickly carbonation. Burps some floral hops. I’m glad I’m finally getting my hop fix again for the first time since leaving my beloved Santa Rosa.

Nov 12, 2009 Draft. Dark orange-amber hue, thick white head and sticky lacing all over. Nose is light citrus and resin, hints of bready malts. Flavor is mostly bitter pine needles, light citrus, balanced out by bread and crystal malts, finishes bitter. Medium body, medium carbonation, thick texture. A solid hoppy yet balanced single IPA, big west coast features, easy drinking and delicious!

Nov 12, 2009 Pours a chilled haze orange, solid sheet of white, lacey head. Crisp, citrus hop nose with waves of plump mandarine orange. Prikly carbonation, big citrus hop flavors...biting dryness and bitterness that tapers off nicely. Notes of grapefuit zest, dry sweetless orange...super hoppy bite..clean, dry and very well made. I think people are going to like this one.

Oct 17, 2009 My favorite beer of theirs - an incredible hop aroma oozing out of this beer. The description mentioned that it had been not only dry hopped, but hopped in the serving tank! Brilliant idea! Really just a pleasant hop lovers delight.

Sep 5, 2009 hazy orange with a fizzy white head. Sweet strong grapefruit and hopsaroma but a soapy over hopped taste. Too bad.

Jul 23, 2009 From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden orange with no head. Aroma is mango fruity and mild sweet. Flavour is dry and fruity hoppy. Light herbal note to the hops. Subdued sweetness into a smooth finish. Lasting bitter and fruity impression.
