Jun 17, 2007 Piney hops and a bit pickled. The palate is a bit prickley, The finish is grassy and earthy. The apperance is nothing special.. looks like a bud with a bit more head. Not to bitter with a medium light body.

May 31, 2007 Cloudy copper in color with a thin white head that fades quickly into a resiny film. Big floral hop nose with some citrus/grapefruit thrown in. Fairly robust flavor: slightly grainy malt dominated by grapefruity hops. Medium bodied with a dry, semisweet bitter finish. Not bad.

May 25, 2007 Bottle; poured a light orange gold. Not all that much head. Aroma caramel malt/bready, and some pine/grapefruit. Flavor upfront was grassy/dry hoppiness; finish was more bread/malt than hops. Crisp, dry finish. Too grassy/herbal for my liking.

May 23, 2007 Pours hazy orange. Resiny green hop aroma with tones of grapefruit, pine and apricot. Malty tones of syrup and caramel. A bit nutty and floral as well. Very clean nose. Well balanced hop flavour with tones of citrus, grapefruit and a floral touch. Nice caramel malt backbone. Medium bitter with a rather elegant dry finish. Clean, medium body.

May 9, 2007 Light colored for an IPA. Frothed up well and had a pretty big head. Grainy and bready scent with a healthy dose of piny and floral hop mixture. The finish was less hoppy than the nose and initial flavor, but overall, a very enjoyable NoCal IPA. Yum!

May 5, 2007 Bottle: Pale golden, quite clear, moderate rocky eggshell colored head, fairly nice lacing, no noticeable carbonation. Grassy hop nose, slight cereal. Very slight citrus peel and whole wheat bread. Soft hop bitterness on the tongue, accompanied by some cereal like malts. Grainy, soft, but not bitter. Not as sharp or robust as others. Well balanced, but on the lighter side of IPAs given that this is a West Coast IPA. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. Lacks really any decent hop presense on the finish. Only lingering cereal like flavors linger. Tiz okay, but its too grainy/earthy malt oriented without a larger hop bite.

Apr 30, 2007 On sale at Garden Fresh Market for $3.99 a 6 pack, a good way for me to get acquainted with a beer that’s new to me. Somewhat cloudy light amber color, nice floral/citrus/hoppy aroma, zesty but not overly aggressive hoppy flavor, malt presence edged out somewhat by the hops. This is a beer that seems rather workaday at first but impresses more each time you have one. "Painted" bottle sure to be of interest to breweriana types.
