CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Dec 21, 2006 On tap at Carlsbad on 6/30/06: Pours a clear copper orange with a nicely-lacing dense off-white head. Fresh, green, citrusy hoppy aroma has some light fruit notes and pale maltiness. Body starts with a nice, mild grainy sweetness quickly turning more dry and bitterly hopped. Very drinakble and refreshing. ChillCoat (1029), Concord, California, USA Oct 16, 2006 Draft. Clear copper color with a white head. Resiny pine and grapefruit hop aroma. Light malt flavor with a piney hop forward flavor. Bitter finish. erway (1002), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Jun 14, 2006 Pours a deep, lightly-cloudy, amber. Head is lasting ad tight. Aroma is all hops; pine, apricot and citrus. Body is a med-light and creamy. Flavor is a nice mix of bready malt and huge resinous hops. Finish is very bitter. Anywhere else in America, this is an IPA and a damn good hoppy IPA at that. Gotta love San Diego! Hairofthedog (419), San Diego, California, USA May 21, 2006 On draft at Pizza Port (Carlsbad). The aroma had light malts, citrus, grapefruits, light fruit, kinda grainy, and a slight hint of spice. This beer is really interesting. The beer poured a brownish orangish red color with golden highlights, slightly hazy, thin head and lacing. The flavor had citrus, oranges, grapefruits, grasses, lihgt caramel, kinda lemony with a hint of spiceiness. The mouthfeel was lihgt and crisp and very bitter. The hops almost completely overwhelmed the malt notes, but who cares... I love hops!
