Tasted at the February Northern California Beer Tasting. This IPA poured an orange gold color from the bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet with some herbal hops. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are earthy and floral. A nice balanced IPA. Nice carbonation. Hides the 8% alcohol very well. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Feb 26, 2008 NorCal Feb ’08 - A very nice treat brought to use by Phil_L on his trip out here. I can’t seem to find any information on this beer, but it was in fine shape and extremely tasty. Aroma was earthy hops, herbal, lightly sweet smelling. Reminded me of smelling some freshly cut shrubbery or ivy vines. Appearance was a medium amber color, nice one-finger thick head. Soft, yet full mouthfeel. Very herbal in the flavor as well, and quite the welcome bitterness. Hops were herbal, earthy and slightly spicy with the malts coming clean and sweet. Nicely balanced and very easy to drink.
