Commercial Description:
This West Coast-Style India Pale Ale is extravagantly hopped, full flavored, medium bodied and copper colored. A menagerie of hops is combined throughout the brewing process to impart specific characteristics. Hops used include Simcoe for a unique fruitiness and grapefruit zest, Columbus for strong hop pungency, Centennial for pine and citrus notes, and Cascade for floral aroma.

12 fl. oz bottle GIVEN to me by Jan Primus (thanks Jan!). Pours a somewhat hazy orange amber with a few floaties. Aroma is ALL about the piney hops, it’s consuming.......Anyways, the flavour is more of the same, quite a bitter bite which is awesome, slightly high carbonation and with some sweetness in the finish, but not necessarily a lot of malts. Slightly boozy after a while too, but still hop ecstasy. Your textbook west coast IPA deliciousness.

Full copper color with a 3/4" off-white head. Strong floral hop aroma with a little spice. Flavor is super bitter, malty, and has notes of pine and citrus. Texture is a little dry and medium-bodied with a clean, bitter finish.

Wonderful IPA, good malt great hop and color. Its not a DIPA and I would say it is pretty balanced. The malt profile is different than most IPAs, although I think Bear Republic has something similar. Taste ends on an unfinished bitter/alcohol note that undercuts the enjoyment, but still a fantastic over hopped ipa.

1*2*3*4 what are we drinking for? Dunno ’bout you, but this one and it’s combined aroma and hop flavor sure do it for me. Started with a pint and then got a sixer. There was a rather large time delay between the two so I’m not sure if the draft was really better or if it was just that it being so good after such a long work day made it all the better or not. Love this stuff.

Bottle: Has an impressive appearance for an IPA. Dark copper in color with a huge frothy, Belgian looking head that leaves strong lacing all around the glass. The aroma is inviting, with a plethora of hop varieties hitting the nose. The flavor isn’t quite as impressive, but enjoyable and has a decently bitter end. Has a nice mixture of floral and pine hops, but with the appearance and aroma, A great session IPA.

Good hoppy piney west coast IPA. Borderline IIPA it’s so hoppy. I like it but personally, I think a bit more balance is needed. Won’t stop me from drinking it though :)
