3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nice hoppy taste and aroma not very bitter. The malt flavor really has trouble coming against the hops. A decent IPA but nothing outstanding amongst the many other choices that are available.

this is new to the Bay area
Burnished gold - clear with medium off white head. Lean malt background (light caramel) with medium light body - An un-east coast IPA - firm bitterness with pine, grapefruit pith characteristics.
Nothing too much in the aroma some grapefruit and floral notes
Good beer nothing special to seek out

Nice thick white head on a light golden brew, with decent lacing. Aroma is clean and citrusy, perhaps grapefruit. Flavor is light and hoppy, not much body. A good session beer, served nice and cold after a hot excursion in the sun. I guess I’ve been spoiled by all of these powerful California IPA’s. This is more like a regular pale ale and doesn’t pack much punch.

on tap at papago...
orange straw colored pour with a soft soapy-like head and lots of sudsy foamy spots of lace.
the nose is a bit bubblegum-y with notes of grapefruit, orange and light non resinous pine... kinda like rosemary or juniper.
the palate has an odd sweetness which grows as it warms.... it reminds me a little of GF west coast in it’s combination of malty sweetness and pine... flavors of bubblegum, candied orange, caramel malt and a dry pine related finish.
medium body with and average mouth feel and pleasant carbonation from the tap. 6/3/6/3/14/3.2

An OK IPA. Orange pour with a small head. Aroma of malt and piney hops. Taste is mostly malt with a end hoppy bitterness. Not a bad everyday drinker.

Pours a clear golden with small head that lingers and eventually leaves moderate amount of lacing. Citrus and pine aromas appreciated up front. Very small malt profile. Possibly a little roasted malt appreciated. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Bitter up front with a very slight sweetness that is there for only a moment. Short to medium finish. Hops disappear fairly quickly. Overall a solid IPA. I would drink again.
