Pours a classic clear amber/orange. Minimal head, off white in color. Nice lacing on the glass. Intense hop flavor, grapefruit, pomelo, pine... hints of a spice or two that I can’t identify. It’s a bit thin, but overall, this is a really good beer.

Tap at the Beechtree. Strong hoppy and citrus aroma. Nice rich dark amber color, with a good lingering mouth feel.

Nice IPA, very strong citrus presence. Suprisingly good. Very aromatic, nice aroma hops, not overpoweringly bitter.

Aroma is richly hoppy, so hoppy that is has a strong evergreen hint. Color is a clear, golden amber with a very thick off-white head that hangs around for a while. Flavor is seriously hoppy but not nastily bitter - not complex, but a delight for any "hop head." There is just a teeny hint of sweetness. It leaves behind a refreshing piny flavor and a fair amount of satisfying bitterness.

2008. Nose is nice and spicey. Some grain notes and a light whaff of roastiness. Taste is malty and there is that sierra nevada Cascade hops bitterness. It’s well balanced and refreshing. There are citrus hints in it, and some other flavours. Has a abtrusive bite to it in the mouth. Overall, I was dissapointed in this brew because I expected more from those Chico folks. It’s not a bad brew by any means, just, was wishing for something a bit more "wow."
