Schooners IPA

GABF 2009. Clear golden color with a small white head, really is a pale IPA. Aroma is citrus and floral hops as well as some tropical fruit and pale malt. Flavor is a small amount of grainy pale malt and a good but not outstanding floral and citrus hop profile. A bit of pineapple present. Palate is medium-full with some hops lingering. Overall pretty good.

GABF 2009, Medium golden yellow pour, mildly hopped aroma, fluffy white head. Blanced leafy bitterness. Floral hops.Great IPA flavor, dont judge a book.......Real Nice IPA

CleAR golden with a fizzy white head. Pine a d grapefruit aroma and taste with a thick palate.

Draught at Beers in the Plaza. Gold with a small head. Lots of fruity and floral hops in the aroma with peach sticking out. Nicely dry and medium on bitterness. Definitely more finesse in the hops than many, which is welcomed. The malt is just a clean toasty grain that lets the hop flavor shine. The body is a bit light for the style too, making this very tasty and drinkable overall.

On tap at the brewery. Tropical fruit, floral pine and citrus in the aroma. Straightforward west coast IPA. A bit unbalanced with the intense hops, and not much in the way of malt. Piney, floral taste with grapefruit. Not exciting, but solid.

This clear golden ale poured with a nice off-white head and a floral aroma. The flavor is at first malty sweet, but quickly fades to citrus and grassy hops. A refreshing and tasty brew.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a pale golden color with a small off-white head. Has a malty hoppy aroma with some hints of citrus. Slightly swetish malty bitter hoppy citrus flavor with some piney hints. Has a long hoppy bitter citrus finish with a bitter aftertaste.

(10/29/08) Bottle at Valley Brew brewery in Stockton (thanks a lot Mike!). Aroma of rather piney hops and some caramel notes. Sweetish flavor with some malt, caramel notes and a bitter hoppy finish with some resinous notes and pine. A bit oily. Decent.
