Poured on tap at Marin Brew Breast Fest a light amber with a medium sized white head. Aroma is overly floral hoppy with a little vegetale greeness. The flavor comes in with a burst of sweet caramel at the get go then dominated by floral citrus hops (on the orangy side instead of gratefruit). The flavor drops out abruptly at the end with very little bitter and not much lingering. A good beer overall.

Bottle: Big pine and earthy hoppiness with some faint grapefruit in the aroma. It pours a transparent amber with a small off-white head. The flavor starts with moderate fruit and caramel. Moderate citrus hopped finish with some light pine. Light-medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Oct 25, 2008 DTM scored this bottle in SoCal. Funny enough, we’re closer to the brewery, and I’ve never seen it. Come on Ledgers!... I’m still confused why they call it the 1500 Pale ale if it’s an IPA. Maybe aspidites can explain it to me. Hell of a palate, citrusy, and nice bitter hop to it. Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, burp-burp!

Oct 25, 2008 Bottle from SBDL; amber in color with a nice, medium to large sized, frothy, white head. Aroma was nice and balanced; citrus/grapefruit, caramel/biscuit and flowers. Flavor had a good amount of biscuit/caramel backbone. Hops lacked great flavor; more earthy than anything (although some fruit and citrus). Good palate. A weird vegetable component to this one which I didn’t really like. That being said; good aroma, but mediocre flavor.
