Overall Impression:
Not particularly hoppy, this is an alright beer. I didn’t find it particularly exciting, but not particularly bad either, it just kind of is. Decent, drinkable.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Feb 17, 2009 Draught at the brewery. Amber red color with a lasting creamy light beige head. Malty bread crust aroma with some light hops as well. Malty flavor of caramel and bread crust. A touch of sweetness and some subtle piney hops. Medium-light body and smooth carbonation. The board said that this was "seriously hopped in the west coast style" um... no. Just no. I can’t really hate on it per se, but it this is just not hoppy by any measure, especially compared to the Capitol Amber Waves being brewed just up the street. badlizard (2385), Berkeley, California, USA
