I was a little worried when Firestone took over SLO but the IPA has remained the same. A golden IPA with a great balance of floral and bitterness. Still one of my favorites.

Draft. Dark copper pour with an off-white head. Big, fruity hop aroma. Fresh strawberries and citrus, mostly grapefruit. Very hop-forward flavor with a clean grapefruit taste. Bitter finish.

This one came to me in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright caramel color with a very creamy medium sized yellowish head. The aroma is strong with grapefruity hops. There is a strong grapefruit flavor with light sweet malts underneath. The balance is not too bad but the hops really dominate. Still not as good as the Double Barrell.

Hoppy, fruity aroma. Very nice malt flavor--graprefruit, coriander, somewhat spicy, nice balace of hops. Quite smooth. A surprisingly complex IPA.

On tap at Toronado. Dark orange color, lots of fluffy lacing. Pleasant light citrus hop aroma, a little grass as well -- nice not to be overwhelmed. Taste of the same sweet citrus hops, a decent caramel malt backbone, overall a subdued enjoyable beer.

Lemony, zesty malt APA aroma. Yellow-gold, big beady head, nice bottle, good label. Medium-heavy hopping, citrusy. Well done American Golden Ale. Citrus gelatin flavors, finishes out with a pleasant bitterness. Fresh, sweetish, enjoyable. Mellow Mushroom, Auburn.

Reddish golden ale, like many American IPAs. I am planning to be pleased. Nose speaks of hops and malt. Mouth like an ale. This is a good, hoppy malty beer with a good bitter finish. Citrus American bite, not to the levels I have come to expect from an IPA. Pleasant and easy to drink.
