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.

Dec 23, 2009 Beer pours lightly cloudy, copper color with a nice thick retained beige colored head. Aroma is intially quite citrusy, mostly along the lines of grapefruit, however with addtional inspection there is a good bit of caramel malt aroma along with some significant earthy yeast notes. Flavor is obviously bitter with very little sweetness with some light saltiness. Palate is smooth to the point of being slick, nice and fully rounded with a bitter finish. A nice IPA. I wished it were available locally.
