A decent hoppy aroma is the highlight of this underwhelming IPA. Still worth a try if you find yourself here.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewpub. By far the most impressive of their offerings. Pours with a very lightly hazed golden yellow body with a thick and lasting white head. Good lace. Aromas are floral and citrusy. Good and classic hop aroma with some grapefruit, tangerine, orange and light lemon. Malt is light (good): grainy and bready. Flavors are nicely dry with an assertive bitterness that is all citrus in nature. Tangerine. Malt bill is a bit odd for a west coast IPA. Seems a bit grainier and straw like than usual (Pils maybe?). Overall, this is a nicely put together, small, dry IPA. Lively, light bodied dry, crisp, good!

Draught at the brewpub, SF. Hazy golden looks with a smallish off white head. Some piney hop and citrus in the aroma. Decent malt/hop balance to the flavour. Gently lingering bitter finish. Solid, fresh and drinkable ipa. The murals downstairs are great here by the way.
