Jan 24, 2007 Great aroma of citrus hop. Brassy color with a decent white head. Starts with that great citrus hop (maybe some grapefruit) quickly followed by a little malt, and then it slides into persisting hoppiness. This has goodness, if not greatness.

Jan 22, 2007 an average pale ale, I like the look of the bottle, but the beer was just ok. poured a clear honey color with little head. I could taste the hops and a bit of a citrus undertone. aroma was good, left a bitter taste on the palate.

Jan 21, 2007 Updated: Jul 30, 2007Just ok. I really want to like Speakeasy beers because I’m from sf. But--as with Anchorsteam--I just can’t dig it. Maybe there’s too much competition in Norcal. Certainly not a bad beer but in my opinion nothing spectacular. A bit light for my taste, tangerine color but clear. I’ll keep rooting for this brewery but I hope the beers get better.

Jan 18, 2007 Bottled. Pours a clear gold with a sparse white head. Aroma of grapefruit, fruit, flowery hops. Light-ish body, moderate carbonation. The taste is pretty much what my nose led me to believe, with a touch of caramel sweetness tossed in. Grapefruit rind finish. Not dangerously good but one I’d like to try on tap.

Jan 17, 2007 Bottle. Gotta say first that I love the bottle art that Speakeasy develops, reminds me of the mobster movies that I absolutely love. Pours a clear yellow-gold with a nice white head on top. Aroma is full of hops, citrus, grapefruit, and grass. Flavor is hops, grapefruit, and caramel. Not quite as strong as I would like an IPA to be. The aroma makes it out to be amazing, but the flavor falls short. Easily drinkable though, not a bad beer, but not what I expected.

Jan 12, 2007 Pours a foggy orange gold. Floral aroma with notes of citrus as it warms. Very strong bitter hop taste with a nice caramel malt finish. It leaves a bitter sting in your mouth.

Jan 8, 2007 A good IPA but nothing extraordinary or different to get me to buy another. Somewhat bland as IPAs go these days. The Speakeasy Double Daddy IPA is more interesting.
