Oct 4, 2009 Poured a very clear yellow with a small white head.
Nose was strong with grapefruit.
Taste was very clean, fairly dry, lots of hop flavor, good amount of bitterness, and dances a fine line between a Pale Ale and an IPA.

Jul 23, 2009 From tap at the brewery. Poursclear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is wine grape. Light bitter and fruity hoppy flavoured. Mild sweet flavoured. Lasting crisp bitter finish with the nelson sauvign notes downplayed yet with a very smooth overall impression. Nice one.

Jul 2, 2009 On tap at Stone bistro. Fairly strong for a pale ale, but tasty. Biscuits, bitter hops, citrus, grapefruit, and caramel. Pretty dry, and close to an IPA. I enjoyed it.

Jun 17, 2009 50cl draf at Blind Lady on 34th street, a few blocks off target. the beer pour a slight hazy golden with a medium white head. nice hoppy aroma with light sweet malt aroma, the flavor followed the aroma with some light slightly fruity malt was some big hopp flavor, the finish was quite bitter and a little harsh. I think the rater below me had it right when he called this "challenging." I feel like a pale can have nice hopiness without becoming hard to drink, which this one is to an extent. The Drakes 1500 went a similar route as this, but i think came out with a much more drinakable beer.

Jun 6, 2009 Was I having an off-night when I drank this? I was expecting more of an easy drinking PA and this was just too hopped up for me. I love hop-bombs usually, but this just seemed to challenge me in a way that I don’t prefer my Pale Ale’s to do. Could have used a more friendly character. Or...perhaps it was just an off-night for me.

May 24, 2009 On tap at the brewery in Vista. Pours a clear, bright golden body with a finger-width, fluffy white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a moderate lacing. Floral and citrus hop aroma with some sweeter pale caramels, but mainly hop dominated. Flavor is similar. Moderate earthy bitterness and a bigger floral zest. Lightly malted, but balanced. Nice lingering bitterness after a dry finish. Palate is light to medium bodied, crisp, and refreshing. Overall, another solid west coast styled APA. Not too aggressive, but tasty.
