Sparky27 (711), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Nov 27, 2008 On tap at Draft Magazine’s Big Pour in Mesa. Pours a medium amber with off white head. Nose is sweet floral and citrus hops. Taste is sweet ripe citrus, tart grapefruit and resin. Medium mouth feel. Great IPA. ChazMania (317), Pasadena, California, USA Oct 24, 2008 Bomber. Dark yellow to orange color, thin head. Big citrus aroma with some very nicely balanced hop flavors containing mandarin orange and grapefruit. Has a sweeter finish than other SD IPA from what I can tell. Very good tasting beer. pintsize (1042), Austin, Texas, USA Oct 23, 2008 9-30-08 bottle <br />
Thick glowing amber with a solid white head and some moderate lacing. Smell is nice and floral and spring-like. Flavor is hoppy with a great little citris bite and a following yummy sweetness. Nice and smooth mouthfeel. Would surely have again! robforbes (784), Bremerton, Washington, USA Oct 16, 2008 pours a semi-hazy amber-yellow with a medium size head, good lacing.<br />
smell is hoppy, malt back, pine nuts, a whiff of caramel.<br />
taste is caramel, pine, nice bitter hops.<br /> lb4lb (1545), Austin, Texas, USA Oct 1, 2008 Pours a mild hazed amber color with a medium lived light beige head. Smell is fruity, piney, and hoppy, and not over the top. Some nice fruity malt character too. Taste is crisply bitter with nice pine and citrus hop flavors. Good maltiness to balance but still plenty hoppy. Full bodied with nice refreshing carbonation. Awesome drinkability and a fantastic, underrated IPA, I thought.
