From a distinctive painted 12 oz. long neck brown bottle with a "Who’s Your Daddy?! 004" on the back label. Made a good appearance, poured a semi-hazing pale golden with a large foamy, almost cake-like white head that leaves a lot of ringed sticking. Had a big citrus hop aroma with traces of floral hoppiness. Good carbonation and a smooth medium bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. Taste was also a big citrus hoppy, a mild hop bitterness, a little floral, balanced by a underlining sweet maltiness, slight alcohol presence in the palate and a dry hoppy finish.

(bottle - 12 oz) Cloudy orange pour with a thin and lasting white head. Light floral and hop aroma with the slightest sweet hint. The taste starts with a sweet and floral flavor that goes to a nice and bitter hoppy middle and a bitter hop finish. A little on the thin side, but otherwise good.

This was an okay IPA, not all that hoppy. Pretty average all around IPA style, good, but not great.

Big thanks to elnadeau for this gift, I really enjoyed this strongly aromatic IPA. Lots of aromatic hops in the nose and a pleasant (but fairly strong) bitterness on the mouth. Mouthfeel is medium/light, pour is a golden with a moderate fluffy head. Quite a nice ipa.

Not much aroma for an IPA. Slightly citrucy. Flavor is reminiscent of Stone IPA but less hoppy and more watery. Still pretty good.

From the bottle, pours a hazy golden with a white foamy head. Nice lacing and head resiliency. Aromas of light hops, flowers, chocolate malts. Smells darker than it looks. Tastes lightly bitter, hoppy, but not overly so. Just a hint of some fruits and citrus, and some backyard grass at the end. Really does finish clean without much aftertaste. This is a good one.

On tap at "Fly Bar" in San Francisco, (Divisidero and Oak) CA. pours a deep golden-body with a white marshmellow fluff head that dissipates progressively. lacing is thick and grainy. smells of toasted oats and mild citrus. tastes of roasted malts, grapefruit, pine hops and some assorted nuts. fully flavored yet light on the palate. "hella good."
