Good draft IPA.

tap at torst. awesome beer. juicy pineapple and citrusy fruit hops. nicely balanced by dry crisp toasted caramel. complexity added by some soft pear-like fruit and a passionfruit which led this to come across as almost more of a hoppy belgian ale to me. really good. dry. easy drinking. maybe my favorite brew of the day at this torst joint.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 beersearcher (1956) - Glendale, California, USA - FEB 6, 2013
Pours a light yellow color. Fruit punch aroma that is lighter than the punch the beer makes. Massive fruit flavors in this one that I assume is from the Mosaic hops. I get a big hit of grape skins here. Plus a mouthful of bitterness.

Golden orange pour with a white head. Huge pineapple aroma, almost like pineapple juice. Lots of grapefruit and tangerine, too. A decent pine aroma, some bread, and a hint of grass. The flavor is similarly intense in terms of the pineapple. Plenty of grapefruit and tangerine, nice pine, and a moderate bitterness. Very light bread flavor and malt sweetness.
