Clear orange colour with an off white head. Hoppy, fruity and piney aroma with notes of a light caramel sweetness. Hoppy, piney bitter flavor with a dry bitter finish.

Aug 20, 2008 Pours copper with a thin dissipating head. Nice citrusy, hoppy aroma with flavor to match. This was a very enjoyable IPA with a good balance of hops and malts.

Aug 18, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours copper orange with sticky beige head. The aroma is pine, mango, and a light honeyish sweetness. The flavor is toasty malt and a disembodied fruitiness, with canteloupe, orange, and mango. At first taste it strikes me as a little more gentle and malty than I thought it would be, but it finishes with a strong piney bitterness that lingers into an aftertaste of wood and grass. Pretty good.

Aug 17, 2008 Bottle. Nice orange pour, some white head that dissipated quickly. Nice citrus, orange peel, and pine hop aroma, The flavor is just like the aroma, lots of orange peel / grapefruit-like bitter flavor. Some resin and pine in the back. Nice ipa... I think this was a good year for hops b/c all the CA IPAs have it going on.
