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 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with blutt59. Pours a hazy golden amber with a moderate off-white head that lasted until mid-glass and left lots of patchy lace. Very pleasant fruity aroma with orange and grapefruit along some lighter pine notes. The flavor is malt followed by a wash of bitter grapefruit and pine. Bitter finish, but not astringent. Nice solid IPA.

This beer pours a medium amber color with a thin white head Leaving a little lacing down the sides. On the nose this beer is quite good, notes of spruce, citrus and dough. The flavors are pine, citrus, and a hint of vanilla for some reason. I really liked this one. Cheers!

A very nice west coast IPA, this is not my favorite category, but I think this has very good hops with a hint of floral and grass mixed in making it very tasty and a good beer to drink

Hazy orange-gold with thick fluffy head. Very powerful citrus and flower hops. Nice even bitterness, bold flowery hop flavor, long bitter hoppy finish. Great west coast ipa.

Poured a hazy light amber with a very creamy white head. Lots of lacing! Complex hoppy aroma. Citrusy, grapefruit, but with a sweet malty and honey flavor. Very nice!

Perfect head and orange color for an IPA. Nice citrus hoppy aroma. Good mouthfeel very bitter finish. Great hoppy taste. Overall a nice IPA but not the best. Recommended for a nice session IPA.

Wow, what can I say, other than they somehow stole my imaginary recipe for the best ipa ever. Pours a golden copper with a nice white head. Great lacing. The aroma is simply amazing. Simcoe AND Columbus?!?! There is a little bit of something for every kind of hophead in this. Floral, piney, citrus, grapefruit, and some nice caramel malt. The flavor starts out with caramel malt and cirtusy grapefruit. Then floral, pine, and more citrus, and joyfully bitter. Medium to full bodied with light carbonation. At 95 ibu’s and this hop profile this is just what the hop doctor ordered. My new favorite ipa.

all hops all the time....floral, grapefruit and pine aroma. Pours dark copper with mid range head. Refreshing citurs hoppiness with a blast of pine in the finish. Somewhat chewy malts.

Very attractive hazed coppery pour. Nose is very intense (and intensely inviting) citrus and pine hops. Flavors are really well balanced between the sweet caramel crystal maltiness and the fruity bitterness of the big citrus and pine hopping. Great IPA from the West Coast...go figure!
