Sep 20, 2009 On tap. It has quite beautiful and charming texture. Beautifully mariaged Juicy and grassy hop shake my brain. I can see brewers’ soul the stracture stands from beginning to end. Smooth mouthfeel. Aftertaste my tongue is clean more than I think.Well drinkable. I want refill if I don’t have work tomorrow.

Sep 1, 2009 On tap at the brewery. This yellow ale poured with a thin off-white head. The flavor is slightly sweet at the start, with a sharp hoppy bite at the finish. Very refreshing and hoppy.

Sep 1, 2009 This was one of the many bottles I brought back from my trip to sunny San Diego. This bottle has a really cool label with a mermaid holding a beer and the Hotel Coronado in the background. The beer is golden orange with a creamy sticky looking white head. The first smell brings pine, oranges, more citrus and puts a smile on my face. Whoa, the taste is funky and diverges from the aroma sharply, more vegetal hop flavors. There is something a little too green/herbal about this one. It is definitely apparent they used a lot of hops but this is almost like putting a hop in my mouth and chewing. Drinkability is just ok which is a letdown.

Aug 23, 2009 Beautiful hoppy nose, lovely overrtly bitter taste that doesn’t really hang about on the palate.

Aug 21, 2009 Bottle. Syrupy looking bronze beer with a strong head. The aroma is well hopped, and the flavour is massively hopped and bitter at the finish. Overall a nice IPA, but too strongly hopped.

Aug 20, 2009 Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Ooweeee!! Belter alert!! Poured a hazy amber colour with some floater action swirlin and twirlin in there and a decent looking off white head. Aroma jam packed full of resinous hop and tropical fruit....as indeed was the flavour. Some sweetness evident, but all in proportion, and this just clicks supremely.Just a hugely enjoyable drink that I could gladly drain all day.
