Very good IPA. Big hoppy smell. Refreshing and really smooth with still plenty of hop bite. Would definitely order gain.

Draft @ Piaci Pub & Pizza, Fort Bragg, CA. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Has a malty hoppy pine needles aroma. Sweetish malty bitter hoppy piney flavor with some citrus hints. Has a sweetish malty bitter hoppy finish with a long bitter aftertaste.

4 beers in. Great beer. We started comparing it to stone ipa in how much we would like to drink it. So, it is good ipa. More malty then stone.

Tap at Toronado. The body was medium copper with an off white head. The aroma was straight forward pine and caramel. There was also some orange. The taste was a little leathery with some oranges and apples. Decent, but a little boring.

22 oz bomber. Hazy amber beer with a thin white head. Aroma is quite spicy/fruity. Soft pine/grapefruit with a kiss of light peppery notes. Pretty solid aroma. There is a nice herbal character that is unusual for a west coast IPA. A nice combination of spice and grapefruit. It’s pretty atypical but it works pretty well. Soft sweetness, a bit of toasted malt and pale character. Fairly hoppy bitterness and a lingering orange citrusy flavour. Quite dry on the back. Pretty solid really.

Well constructed overall - malty with nice hop presence. Nothing noteworthy but a decent drink.
