On hand pumped cask at Stone today. Dry hopped with Centennial and German Tettanger Hops. Amazing dense white head. Took a long time for foam to rise and settle, like a Boddingtons from the can. Nice orange amber color. Smooth and mellow body with sweet bite from the hops. Piny and sharp, but mellow too.

Blueberries and bubblegum aroma that sadly does not transfer to the taste. Not bottle conditioned??? Strong bitterness with some berry flavor on the back of the tongue. An excellent average IPA .

Bottle, 22oz, at the European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. A clear, dark golden beer with a small off-white head. Hop-driven nose with a nice blend of citrus, pinecones and resin. Malt in the background. The flavor goes in the same direction with the maltyness playing second violin, and it ends with a lasting bitter finish. Full body. Quenching, easy to drink IPA. Lovely.

11/6/08 notes: bomber, $4.99. Pours light gold-orange, with medium head. Soapy aroma, with strong floral notes. Palate is crisp, with lingering finish. Flavors of tangerine, lime, and grapefruit are most prominent. Overall, this beer was perfectly tasty, a very soapy rendition of a west coast IPA. I only knock the mid-palate, which was somewhat empty. It ended up seeming like a void bookended by delicious hops.

On tap at Chandler Whole Foods with cascade hops. Pours a light golden color with a respectable white head. Loaded with hops in the aroma and flavor. Faint citrus and malt. Perfect for pairing with bar food.
