Nice orange color with a small white head. Citrus and pine aroma are pretty strong. Nice hoppy notes in this one. Flavor is more peppery bitter hops with a small barely noticable bisctuity malt. A dry resiny mouthfeel. As it warms, more malty sweetness becomes discernible in the nose.

Very solid IPA here. Big fresh citrus aroma with some malt to round it out. Mouthfeel is round and the flavor is nice and sweet. Awesome rendition of an IPA.

On tap in Irvine. Pours a rich golden amber with a generous helping of cream colored soapy white head. Clean, hoppy aroma that is dripping with ruby red citrus grapefruit notes and some sweet clover honey. Rich, full-bodied mouthfeel that scrubs the palate clean. Plenty of bitter, sappy pine, sweeter citrus tones, and some sticky caramel tones as well. Clean, refreshing IPA that leaves my palate watering for more.
