Dec 31, 2008 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.

Sep 21, 2008 Hazy orange pour. Floral citrus, caramel melts, well balanced nose and flavor reflects the same. Quenching body and decent bitterness is physically felt in the drying mouth quality. NOt noteworthy, but a solid example of the style, and well constructed.

Sep 17, 2008 On tap. Straightforward IPA with a lot of clear, resin hop character, and not much else.

Sep 12, 2008 A volcanic spew of beige foam flowed out of the bottle as soon as I opened it. Once things calmed down, the massive foamy head sat like an iceberg atop a slighly hazy, caramel colored beer that had the expected Left coast hop profile with grapefruit rind and doughy sweetness of malts. A good balance of sweet pastry maltiness and pine/citrus hops with some dank basement tossed in the mix. A pleasant bitter follow.

Aug 25, 2008 Pour revealed a gold color. Pleasant light citrus aromas. Some moderate hops upfront. Smooth on the palate and light body. Sweeter malty flavors predominate. Easy to drink. Not bad.

Aug 16, 2008 On cask @ Marin. Copper color, slight orange tint, dense off-white head. Light toasty malts on the nose, mild grassy hops. Aroma not too robust for an IPA. Clean, refreshing taste, slight peppery character, nice finish. Pretty mild for an IPA.

Jul 30, 2008 Cask at Marin. Clear gold/amber. Small off white head. Piney, resinous, lightly spicy hops and lightly sweet and grainy malt. Balanced, too balanced. Medium body, smooth. Easy to drink but lacking a bit in flavor and aroma.
