On tap at the brewpub. This was the day before opening day, it rained heavily, Bonds went 1-4 with a ground rule double and the A’s won the game. Oh well, it was dry and warm in the pub. The beer was gold in color with a white head. Good cascade hop aroma. Thick palate. Strong berry flavor. The hops in this beer are plentiful, flavorful and not harsh. Has a nice tartness and sweetness all at once. I find this to be a very good IPA.

Apr 25, 2008 Draft. Golden amber beer with an off-white head. Citrusy, light floral aroma. Citrusy flavor that turns floral and lingers with just a bit of pine. Medium body. Decent hoppiness.

Apr 14, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Pretty light color, orange-amber, thinly topped. Orange-citrusy aroma. Full-up flowery hoppiness here (I’d guess Simcoe, but it reads Cascade), almost resiny, but not quite. Excellent brew. (#3411, 4/11/2008)

Oct 10, 2006 Overly soft and underwhelming beer that is mule more Pale, than India. More of a malt forward golden ale with a very one dimensional hop profile.

Apr 29, 2004 This is another good california IPA. The taste is big with awesome hops. This has greater than 80 IBUs. The malt is light and not really balanced, but it’s tough to balance the extraordinary hop taste. Excellent IPA.
