Jul 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear copper orange with a small white head that diminishes quickly to nothing. The aroma is a piney hops with grapefruit and caramel. Thin mouthfeel and a bit watery on the palate. A sweet hop taste with grapefruit and citrus with a nice dry finish. A good IPA from Mendocino.

Jul 7, 2009 Pours deep ruby amber with a thick beige head. Aroma of caramel and pine resin. Strong bitterness up front but tastes a little old. Not much thick malt to go along with hops, but more of a thin sweet syrupyness.

Jun 29, 2009 bottle.
Pours a clear medium copper color, tiny quarter inch head that clears almost instantly. Nose shows semi-sweet, vegetal malt notes, and some light floral and citric notes. Not at all impressive nose. Flavor follows the nose, unfortunately. Sticky, unpleasant sweetness with some distinct acrid and sour notes; little if any hop character other than some very mild bitterness. Palate is sticky, unpleasant finish, and low on the carbonation. Not a good example of an IPA, either traditional or modern.

Jun 27, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a clear orange body with a finger-width, foamy, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a good amount of lacing. Aroma is sweet with lots of caramels, but has a good amount of fresh, piney orange. Flavor is quite nice. Lots of sweet caramels, but well balanced with a surprising amount of piney bitterness. Lots of sweet lemon and grapefruit citrus with an earthy bitterness. Finishes dry with lots of flavor. Big time citrus, caramel, and a light toasty toffee that linger for quite awhile. Palate is medium to full and very smooth. Overall, this is a good IPA. Highly under-rated. Lots of sweet caramels, fresh pine, and juicy citrus make this quite enjoyable. Excellent balance and easy drinking.

Jun 24, 2009 Pours golden with a medium white head. Aroma of malt and stale hops. Tatse of bitter fruit with some sweetness. Not one of my favorite IPA’s, but I’ve had worse.
