Jun 23, 2007 Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy bright copper color with a medium sized off white head. Aroma is caramel, grapefruit, pineapple, floral hops. Flavor is again caramel, grapefruit, pinapple, pine, floral hops. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished bitter. There is a nice dose of sweetness up front, very fruity, a reallllly solid IPA, if not great.

Jun 1, 2007 Small offwhite head, retention is good, lace is sticky, stringy and surprisingly coating. Clear orange/copper hued ale. Nose is quietly spicey, lightly floral and tropical with light malt under tones. Body is lightly medium, a tad bit crisp. Lightly sweet caramel malts, lightly doughy, citrusy hop flavors are gentle and flowery. Light melony notes evolve as it warms up. Finish is lightly sweet and fruity. Hop bite is gentle at best. A solid warm weather IPA for sure. This is my 100th IPA rating and convienyently this brew was received in trade from SDbruboy, my number one trading buddy. Thanks Cliff, you are the man!! Yup, finally made it to 100 IPAs bro, bout time huh? Thanks again!

May 19, 2007 Bottled. Poured tawny with an off-white, foamy head. The nose was toffee, hops resin, and caramel. The flavor was carmel, malt, and citrus, with a hoppy finish. Syrupy mouthfeel.

May 16, 2007 Had this at Zodo’s bowling in Goleta,ca.Bartender told me Firestone made this IPA for Zodo’s.Had a great floral fragrance,which was so inviting.Average head.Dark amber to light brown in color.The palate was somewhat sticky and bold.The taste was a good bitter hops and a deeper body of barley,I believe.The dry bitter hoppy finish begged me to have more.This is one of the best IPA’s I have had,and to think it is only at a bowling alley.I had a Stone Runination IPA after I had this and I liked the Firestone better!Actually,The Stone had more subtle flavors,and wasn’t so in-your-face.So,I guess the Stone is better,but the Firestone really grabs your attention and keeps it.
Earlier Rating: 10/14/2006 Total Score: 4.2
This had a large foamy head.Color was a nice orange amber.aroma was of beconing hops.It tasted like honey and hops,thus the ’Nectar’.This is a light IPA.Tasty,but a bit light in body.Very easy to drink,but the flavor is 2 dimensional..just honey and hops.Somewhat bitter finish.Yes,I taste the grapefruit,trokini.Pretty good.Will buy again.

May 13, 2007 Pours copper/amber with a thin head.
Big juicy hoppy aroma. Nice blend of hops gives it a hoppy complexity, it’s got the citrus and the spice. Flavor has a nice bitterness to it. Nice medium body but still refreshing. Solid brew.
