chrisafari (100), Orange, California, USA Jul 10, 2008 On Tap at YardHouse Brea, Ca. Pours light amber/orange with super thin white head. Aroma is really difficult to detect (might be the setting). Light subtle aroma of hops. Flavor is very mellow, with notes of sweet citrus (oranges) then finishes with a slight hoppiness (for an IPA). The after-taste leaves the throat dry and slightly hoppy. Very diapointing for an IPA. As a self proclaimed Hop-Head, the San Diego IPA’s are much, much better.
hombrepalo (571), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 9, 2009 12 oz bottle. Beer pours medium golden color with a totally retained off white colored head. Aroma is lightly, floral and spicy hoppy. Flavor is sweet, then followed by citrus hoppiness, and a bit of graininess. Not special at all for an IPA.
mspindler (28), Alta Loma, California, USA Jan 6, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours clear golden yellow with a thin white head and plenty of bubbles. Sweet malt aroma with some fruity hoppiness. Mild for an IPA. Flavor is clean and crisp. Citrusy hops, slight yeasty breadiness, smooth bitter finish. Light bodied with a decent amount of carbonation. Very refreshing and drinkable, definately NOT a hop monster like many other IPAs. jimmay (47), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Jan 2, 2009 Bottle from Premier Gourmet. Dark amber in colour. Pours nice amount of off white head, leaving good lacing. Hoppy aroma. A good IPA. hayden1215 (302), Ohio, USA Dec 31, 2008 Slightly hazy, golden in color with a fair white head. Aroma is hops fruit and grass. Flavor is slightly sweet, floral. Only moderately bitter. bkurtz (242), Peru Dec 29, 2008 Poured golden with a smallish white head. Orange peel and other citris notes straight away, Slight bitterness and then a smooth finish. I really enjoyed this thirst quencher.
