I had this beer multiple times while in San Francisco. It has a wonderful aroma of citrusy, floral hops. The taste is initally sweet of malt, then finishes with a strong hoppy bite. Great beer for hopheads.

Cask. Dark yellow, filmy head that lasted until I was done with samples of all the other beers. Very smooth mouthfeel, and quite well balanced for an IPA purchased west of the San Andreas. I like.

Dark gold color, medium head. Aroma is malty and a little hop spicy. A medium bodied very hoppy IPA. Hops are floral and spicy. Nice malty background. This is a big hoppy IPA, yet there are a lot of malt flavors to balance them. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is bitter.

Nice tasty sweet floral hop. Really good and satisfying and fresh. Nothing unpleasant. Very balanced and drinkable.

(On tap) Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Fresh aroma of citrus and pine. Medium body with a lightly sweet malt base and then loads of good, fresh, citric hop aroma also leaving a distinct bitterness. A very classical West Coast IPA of good quality. 240307
