Dec 20, 2008 Bottled 09/05/08. Pours clear gold. Near-rocky sticky pillowy beige head. Steady stream of tiny bubbles rising. Clean white grapefruit aroma. Dry. Dripping with hops. Bitter of course. Herbaceous, leafy green. Reminds me of a leaner 2007 Hopslam when it was still good. Very tasty proficient IPA.

Dec 16, 2008 Pours a clear golden hue, with a white frothy head that is mostly diminishing.
Aroma is of Hops, Barley, and Yeast - pretty good smelling IPA
Bitter flavor all the way through - the hops and barley really came through in the taste. Not as bitter as I expected though.
Medium Body with light carbonation.
Not a bad IPA, decently tasty and nice to the nose.

Dec 14, 2008 Bottle from my brother - Vac. Poured amber with a frothy white head that left some lasting and good lace down the glass. Great grapefruit aroma with a backing of pine and light malts. Lots of citrus hop flavors with a light malt for balance. Medium body that was just slightly tart up front but with a very enjoyable bitter ending. Awesome.

Dec 10, 2008 Copper color with thin, foam, white head. Smell is strong pine with grapefruit. Excellent smell. Taste is actually a little less bold than the smell would suggest. Slightly sweet, but smooth and not ultra-bitter. Very good IPA.

Dec 8, 2008 Bronze with a proliferation of upward hurling tiny bubbles feeding a luscious cream top. Divinely honeyed hop florals and bitterness are a hop nectar salve to the nostrils. Bitter and sweet notes intermingle. Raw hop leaf flavor and good, refined bitterness. Piny. A hop lovers IPA. Ends moderately dry.

Dec 7, 2008 Good, but overhyped. Poured a cloudy yellow with a fluffy white head. Aromas of grapefruit rind and pine. Signature ton of hops like in Pliny, but very soft in the finish. I guess every CA IPA cant be super abrasive, but I was looking for more citrus or more pine and did not get either. Still beats 99 percent of the east coast IPAs out there.
