Feb 4, 2006 Uncharacteristically malty for a RR brew. Blood oranges in the nose with big caramel malt notes, Bready and floral makes for a very unique take on the classic pale ale. Hops are very clean and well balanced with a distinct Simcoe character. Well conditioned well balanced and very dry brew.

Jun 24, 2004 This is a very nice APA. I had it on draft at Hollingshead Deli. Nice copper color with a citrus/pine nose. It starts out hoppy but finishes clean and refreshing. The hop profile of this APA seems different than others I’ve had.

Jun 19, 2004 Big Juniper and dark resiny pine in the nose. Medium dark amber body wit ha fine white head. Malty carmel blends well with piney citrus hoppyness with touches of melon, fresh hop and fresh biscuts. Finnishes with a lot of hop charactor.

May 28, 2004 On tap @ Hollingshead Deli. Nice rich copper colored brew with a tempting citrusy nose. Very interesting drinking this one as you get a very hoppy citrus bitterness at the front. Malty, biscuity notes in the middle finished with an herbal bite at the end. Very enjoyable brew!

May 28, 2004 Tap@Toronado, San Fransisco. When i had this beer i wasn’t sure i liked the style, but i’m seriously getting used to it, this was pretty tasty. Classic lychee, pine, grapefruit, really balanced and soft. Great beer from a pretty handy bunch of brewers.

does not count  May 20, 2004 On Tap at Father’s Office in Santa Monica. A delicious pale ale that has anice blend of sweet favor and bitter aftertaste. The head was small, but the beer did have some holds a slightly bitter aftertaste

May 12, 2004 Updated: May 15, 2004On tap at O’Briens, San Diego. Absolutely delicious and drinkable beer. Marmalade colour, little head, but big lacing. Fresh, grassy aroma. Absolutely delicious and drinkable beer. Hop encrusted, but fruity and juicy beer, which is satisfying and refreshing. Light in the mouth, with a full, slightly soured finish which tingles slightly. Great stuff indeed.
