Deep golden, clear with a rocky head.
Aromas are powerful with grassy and citrusy hops, a bit of pine and then more still working to create a resinous, sticky brew.
Flavors follow suit. Up front there’s a brief bready and slighly caramelized malt sweetness that gives way to a whole lot of hops. Bitterness is gripping, but not out of balance for the style.
Dry, clean finish. Mild fruity esters, low alcohol heat. Lovely beer - a vast improved beer over the years.

Feb 8, 2005 Updated: Sep 1, 2007West coast ipa, citrus, grapefruit & passion fruit with a touch of cat pee (in a good way if that is possible) from either chinook or simcoe hops. Nice big aroma with firm bitterness. Very little malt presence but the nice aromatic hop notes make up for it.

Nov 1, 2003 Great floral/hoppy, lightly citrus aroma. Bright orange gold, white head, generous lacing. Taste was strongly hopped, with a thinner malt sweetness in the background - could've used more body. My bottle just has an India Pale Ale label, but matches this description. Thanks Flipbrewer!

Oct 15, 2003 Bottle. It looks like they are finally shipping this beer to the Bay Area. Golden color with a foamy off-white head with rising bubbles. A strong grassy hop aroma. Sweet malts and strong hops flavors. I found this IPA quite interesting and enjoyable.

Mar 31, 2003 Bottle says Sacramento Brewing IPA.. Orange gold color. Large head. Aroma is citrusy hops. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are slightly sweet. Hops are very pronounced, grapefruity and somewhat bitter. Nice juicy hop flavor. Well balanced. A nice drinkable IPA. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is bitter.

Sep 12, 2009 Golden orange pour, nice head. Nose is nice and hoppy - lots of citrus and a hint of sweetness. Clean citrusy ipa. Light sweet base malt, lingering hoppy finish. Overall a nice hoppy IPA. Well done.
