Serve in Shaker, Tulip

From tap at Stone Bistro. Pours golden yellow with a white head. Peachy and grapefruity hops aroma. Smooth and crisp hops flavour of the same. This keeps lingering into a lovely fruity hops finish. Very smooth flavourwise!

Nice fruity smell, flavor starts good but turns rough quickly. Almost metallic. Not a favorite IPA at all.

bottle, light golden color with a floral , orange nose, flavors tend towards apricot and metallic notes, finish is somewhat bitter

Draught, Scott’s in Oakland. Amber with a small head (well, they filled it to the rim), decent foam lacing. Light caramel and herbal scent. The flavor is pretty uninspiring. Yea, this is an IPA, but the hops are a little herbal and rough, with a weak and thin malt body. Not too bitter, but not that smooth either. I’m being hard on this one, but in all fairness it’s a perfectly drinkable beer, just mediocre in the style.

It looks all right with a nice white bubbly head, but it looks pale enough to make me uncomfortable when I consider this to be an IPA. It smells a little citrusy and then a little vomity. The taste just about matches that too. It’s quite unappealing, and that bottle just made me want to drink it so bad. Maybe it’s just failed expectations here?

Bottle. The body was dark gold with an off white colored head. The aroma was strong grapefruit with some peanuts and apples. The taste was grapefruit with some spice. A light piney finish. A nice overall IPA that I would buy a lot more if I could get locally.

hazy orange, tiny bubbles ring the rim. nose of grapefruit, citrus, hops. slightyly bitter flavor, creamy tones. medium bodied, slightly bitter finish. not bad, just not exciting.

Bottle. Very nice pungent fruity aroma. Color is a little dull and golden for an IPA. Flavor is there, its just very dull. Kind of bland. Wish there was more of it.
