Nov 2, 2009 On tap. A very nice beer overall. Poured a dirty amber/gold color with a small white head. Aroma was quite strong with citrus/grapefruit rounded out with a bit of caramel and fruit. Flavor had a strong hop presence. Tasty too. Alot of citrus. Flavor lingers for a while. Impressive effort.

Sep 18, 2009 Some oddly downer ratings for this thing. I thought the nose was overly dry but sufficiently dank; the color made me want to slam it - nice drinkable orange gold; the flavor was a nice creamy shroud over its ample hop character, and though it didn’t take full advantage of botanicals or citrus notes that it was very good. I don’t know, maybe I have the lowest standards.

Jul 23, 2009 From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Solid grapefruity, light wineous fruity aroma. Flavour is fresh wine grapes, light leathery and vague spiced hops flavoured. Light fruity and solid bitter flavoured finish.

Jan 7, 2008 Tap @ the brewpub. Poured a clear copper color with an off-white head. Citrus hops start out the aroma. Some caramel malt makes up the base. Citrus flavor from the start through the long semi-dry and moderately bitter finish. Some caramel malt. The bitterness keeps growing. Medium bodied.

Dec 5, 2007 OC tour, tap at brewpub: Amber hue with a sticky lace. The aroma has notes of resiny and peppery hops, grapefruit, hint of caramel and bread. The taste has a nice bite and crisp bitterness. Metallic and astringent towards a spicy finish. This biting and aggressive IPA is quite drinkable and a solid offering.
