The beer pours out a clear, dark gold color with a low foaming cream-colored head. Wisps of it stayed around until I was at the bottom of the glass. The aroma is noticeable almost immediately upon opening the bottle, with scents of citrus and floral. The taste was really goodwith citrus-like bitterness from the presence of hops, but at the same time wasn’t so citrusy that the line between beer and fruit juice was blurred. Although the citrus-like flavor of grapefruit or lemons is what dominates at first, on the second or third taste I noticed more balance with the malts, bringing in an almost under-taste of sweet grains. The finish is dry and sweet at the same time, with little kick as the carbonation level is medium to low.

Bottle poured a dark amber with a good head and sticky lacing. Good hopy, citrus aroma. Body is a bit watery, with a weak hops and citrus flavor. Not bad. Would make a good, easy drinking everyday beer.

Small offwhite head, short lived with scattered lacing. Good clarity, light copper color. Light hop and malt nose, citrus, light pine and a touch earthy with some grainy malt notes. Body is med/light. Citrusy hop flavors, lightly grainy and doughy malts are seemingly well balanced. Finish is fairly dry. A nice APA.

Barely average IPA, pour was nice golden amber color. Slight off hop presence in the aroma, with more malt than anticipated. Well balanced, but just doesnt really click with the buds.

Bottled. Beer of the month. Solid Pale ale. Nice west coast hop bite. Good balance.
