Apr 20, 2007 Sampler at the Brew pub, 3/31/07. Pours amber with a lil island of a white head. The aroma is citrussy, with sweet notes. The taste is hoppy and woody. This is a stron showing for a ASA.

Jan 14, 2006 Dark red amber ale with a thin off white head. Sweet malt with light raisins notes in aroma, and fruity esters. In mouth, barrage of hops with nice malt base, and woody oak notes. Rich, a bit harsh but definetly enjoyed. On tap, August 2005.

Sep 18, 2005 Clear copper body with off-white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, pine/grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, pine/grapefruit. Nice bite in the finish. Medium body with some resin. Needs a bit of rounding, but still quite nice.

Aug 16, 2005 This amber ale poured with a short off-white head. This is one of the hoppiest beers I have tasted, both in terms of aroma and bitterness. The oak conditioning and generous malting seem to have balanced the heavy hopping.

Sep 3, 2004 Draft. Copper color with very little head. Fuller body. Citrus aroma, Nice lingering grapefruit bitterness with a sweet malt backing. Cask is a bit more watery/lighter bodied and a bit fruitier.

Jun 23, 2002 This is quite an IPA. Beautiful amber color. Nice head. Strong bitterness tempered by a full malty body. Strong citrus hop flavor and aroma. Probably my favorite beer at Pacific Coast, although better served from the cask.
