iowaherkeye (1832), Bakersfield, California, USA Sep 4, 2009 On tap @ Blue Palms. Clear medium amber with a frothy 2 finger off-white head, great retention. Lotsa sweet toffe atop some candied grapefruit and pine notes. Flavor is mainlythe toffee grapefruit thing. Finish is semi-dry, bitterness @ a 4. Light carbonation with a medium body. Ok, nothing amazing--and I’m not really getting a ton of dry hopped goodness.Very malty for an IPA, especially for the MidWest. beersearcher (203), Glendale, California, USA Aug 26, 2009 Nicely balanced IPA. Not particularly dry but a good respite from the hop bombs. BMan1113VR (2757), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Aug 12, 2009 On tap at Blue Palms. Pours with a resiliant off-white head over a hazed golden amber. Aroma of citrus hops, alcohol and a bit of caramel. Taste is caramel and alcohol up front with a bit of herbal and citrus. Light bubbles. Seems like a iipa similar in vain to Port 3rd.. bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA May 8, 2009 Draft. Rich amber beer with a cream colored head. Huge summer fruit/grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and summer fruit flavor with light pine. Medium bodied. Decent bitterness. Grapefruit and summer fruit lingers with light malt.
