opaque burnt orange, whispy beige head, touch of lace, carmel malt aroma with soft floral hops, lots of bitter hop flavor on top of slightly sweet carmel malt, the carmel malt character is nice but overshadowed by the bitter hops,

Very clear medium yellow body with a white head.
Very little aroma.
Slightly bitter and one dimensional flavor.
Thin bodied.
Weak IPA. CaptainCougar (5517), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 21, 2007 Pours a slightly hazy bronze with a nicely-lacing frothy off-white head. Aroma of citrusy west coast hops and a touch pale malt. Body starts slightly sweet with a fresh citric hoppiness and a drier, crisp bittersweet finish. Pretty true to style and very drinkable, a nice IPA. alexanderj (2269), Chino Hills, California, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | May 4, 2007 Aroma of caramel malt, pine and grapefruit. Very thin and dry; very grassy and earthy hopps. A somewhat weird roasted flavor. Pretty bad for the style. golubj (1289), Sunnyvale, California, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 4, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of some citrus hops / grapefruit. Flavor is a little disappointing. There is very little malt, and the hops are very grassy and slightly harsh. ryan (1779), Beltsville, Maryland, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 7, 2007 Slightly hazy pale with a small off-white head. The aroma is herbal, piney hops with gramcracker and honey malts. The flavor is fairly dry, lightly bitter with pine, grass, honey and bread. Medium body with moderate carbonation and a bitter finish that is a touch on the thin side. AR (435), Georgia, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 29, 2007 Tried the East Bay IPA during a weekend staying aboard the USS Yorktown CV10 in Charleston Harbor. It sure hit the spot after a long day exploring the aircraft carrier and other boats in the fleet. The East Bay IPA pours a clear yellow and goes down smooth. Not the strongest beer for an IPA - it sort of reminds me of a regular pale ale. A good beer on a hot day.
