On tap at the Linkery, Sweet and bitter with lots of citrus and slight pine. It has a caramel/honey backbone that comes with a hearty dose of malts to balance the big hop kick. Very clean and fresh, its actually between a double and a regular IPA. Very tasty a fruity finish.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Location/Date: 22 oz. bottle bought at local grocery store on 2/5/12 (pre-Super Bowl, but post Chelsea/Man U - a perfect beer day!)
Appearance: Pours to a clear gold with a light white head.
Aroma: sure doesn’t smell like a fish! There is a citrus aroma with a balance of hoppy scent.
Taste: Not overly hoppy for a San Diego IPA. It doesn’t taste like it looks. Citrus/Apricot & delicious hoppiness and a definite fruity aftertaste.
Palate: excellent body, nice creamy front end with a great transition to a lingering finish that is slightly rough and tough (in a good way!).
Summary: A great example of the west coast IPA. It doesn’t need to hop it up any more to show off. I think it really does as the label says - it has a sting, but tastes great.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Medium offwhite lasting head. Amber body with strong carbonation
made hazy by little floaties. Strawy strawberry chewing gum
aroma with citric notes. Dry strawy resiny taste with citric
grassy notes. Mid-bodied. Dry resiny strawy aftertaste with
grassy wooden notes. Nice, but a bit harsh. Probably was much
better when fresh. Should rerate. (0.65l bottle, City Beer, San
Francisco.)
