Jun 7, 2008 Had on tap at SDBC. Pours a bright rust color with a huge citrus hops nose. The flavor is in your face hoppiness, with lots of pine and sharp citrus notes. The finish is a knock out punch of hops that doesn’t leave your pallet for about a half and hour! This is a winner, hands down!

May 22, 2008 On tap at San Diego Brewing Company. I should start off by saying I am not a fan of IPA’s, which my rating most likely reflects, and this does not mean this beer is of lower quality. Poured a nice golden orange color with very little head. Smelled very strongly of hops, citrus, juniper and flowers. Has a very potent kick of hops on the tongue, with definite notes of citrus and grapefruit. The hops linger on your tongue long after you swallow. The mouthfeel was somewhat sticky, almost like nectar. Very bitter pine-hop finish. It’s definitely a great beer for those who enjoy very hoppy beer, but I’m not a big fan.

Jan 30, 2008 On tap @ San Diego Brew Co. This beer is everything an IPA should be and more! Poured a clear, deep golden orange with a wispy off white head. Amazing nose of floral and citrus hops, lightly sticky on the palate. An awesome IPA!

Jan 13, 2008 On tap @ San Diego Brewing brewpub. Pours clear deep gold with lasting ring of white foam. The aroma is grapefruit hops mixed with mildly caramelized malts creating a sweet citrus grapefruit aroma. The taste begins with a quick hit of rich malt sweetness. A moment later grapefruit hop flavor and bitterness takes control with the aid of pine hop bitterness as the finish draws near.

Nov 7, 2007 Draft - Amber in color with a great citrus nose. Love the malt backbone that supports the perfect amount of hops. Excellent example of the style.
