Commercial Description:
We're proud to present American Dream Ale, our unique West Coast IPA, in honor of American Beer Month. We picked the finest hops from Washington's Yakima Valley to give this historic pale ale a decidedly American twist. Floral, citrus and pine character burst from the Yakima hops to mix with the crisp, slightly dry malt flavor for a never bitter ale even the snobbiest limey would love.

On tap at the Phoenix Desert Ridge location. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a one finger creamy off-white head. The nose is ripe citrus and malt. The taste is caramel malt, ripe citrus and tart grapefruit in the finish that lingers for awhile. Medium mouthfeel. Decent IPA.

On draft from Rock Bottom La Jolla. Arrives a clear, golden-amber color with a thin, creamy white head that leaves traces of lace. Crisp, C-hop aroma, citrus rind, piney and floral notes, light grainy malts present as well. Toasty malt backbone in the flavor, with a healthy hop bite featuring astringent herbs, evergreen, grapefruit rind with white pepper in the finish. medium body with assertive carbonation. Nice little West Coast IPA from Rock Bottom.

On tap at RB Bellevue. Pours clear dark gold with a lacy white head. Sweet aroma of grapefruit and fruit. Body is on the light side, and so is the carbonation. Lightly sweet taste with citrus, some toffee and flowers. Bitter, dry pine and floral finish. I wouldn’t complain if it had a bit more body, which would tend to make it not as dry. but all in all a good beer.

On tap @ Arrowhead. This is mighty tasty!!! Nice orange blossom hop aroma. Flavor is nicely balanced between citrus and pine...just enough sweetness to counter the hop bitterness. A pretty solid offering.

Draft at RB-Denver during GABF weekend. Orange-amber with a thin but well-laced foamy top. Buttery maltiness, almost nutty, with moderate hoppiness. Still carbonated when almost gone. Decent if standard IPA. Definitely quaffable. (#3136, 10/12/2007)

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear orange color. Head was thick, white, and left some good lace behind. Attractive flowery, citrusy hops aroma. Moderate hop bitterness on the tongue and soft palate which lingered into the finish. Nice balance of biscuity malt and citrusy hops with a slight hop emphasis. Good IPA.

Tasted on tap at the 10th Annual Bistro IPA Festival. This rating is for the beer from the Campbell location. This India Pale Ale pours a medium orange gold color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is piney and citrusy. Medium bodied IPA. The malts are fruity, caramel and sweet. The hops are grapefruity and piney. Medium bitter IPA. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
