Commercial Description:
This India Pale Ale is dominated by metric boatloads of immensely aromatic hops. Even if you're not really interested, we use Cascade, Hersbrucker, and Columbus with that cutting-edge hop "bite."

Poured a light copper color with a pretty big white head. Aroma was of grapefruit and tropical fruits. Reminded me of hopslam in the aroma a little bit. There wasnt any alcohol really present at all in this. A solid body and a really flavorful citrus fruit background to this. This is a really good beer. I could drink this stuff all day. A great beer.

22oz bottle. poured dark gold, with a white head. Real nice piney aroma, a bit floral. Very nice subtle hop bitterness, smooth aftertaste, quite enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours very clear amber. Almost no head, but does lace. Does not have a heavy aroma, but has a very even nose. Just enough hops to make me happy and is very balanced w/ malt characters. Finishes clean and leaves you wanting more. Overall a great beer.

On tap. Just not a lot of malt at all in this one, just a lot of clear, piney hops. Actually, slightly watery in sort of a refreshing way. Crisp and a little astringent. Straightforward and not very complex piney hops. Doesn’t seem to be agressive despite basically lacking in any malt flavor.

On tap At O’Brien’s in San Diego on 08/01/2008 on the RBSG Friday Pub Crawl. Clear golden amber body with a small white head. Citrus anf floral hop aroma. Sweet citrus and floral hop aroma with a light bitter finish. Medium body with moderately high carbonation.

Pours a amber golden body with an off-white head. Nose is really hoppy with notes of elder flower. The flavor is of cause very hoppy, but i also taste grass, honey-melon - not very complex. The finish is long lasting and blooming. The palate is pretty waterish and fading - im missing a little more bite. But alltogether a fine and good beer.
