Draft at Library Alehouse in Santa Monica, CA. Pours a deep, clear orange/dark gold with an off-white head. The aroma has a nice evergreen and citrus hop profile (three C’s) with subtle crystal malt. Flavor starts sharply hoppy with upfront bitterness - a little unbalanced. The hops take on a grassy, leathery, earthy character towards mid-palate. The finish is dry and firmly bitter with subtle breadiness. Mouthfeel is medium in body with sharpness from suds. Overall, a drinkable and nicely hopped IPA - but not as exceptional as I’d expect from ratings here. Perhaps I need a whole pint served in a proper glass to fully appreciate it (I had only a 4oz sampler glass - 1 of 10).

POURS NICE AND SMOOTH WITH A GOLDEN COLOR. YOU CAN SMELL AND TASTE THIS HOPPY BEER. ONE OF THE BETTER IPA’S.

strong scent of floral hops. nice color. translucent amber with little head. taste is of strong hops and some citrus. bitter hops finish with tones of grapefruit as well. excellent beer. I will purchase again.

Pours a clear orange with a thin head with great retention and LOTS of lace. Sweet & hoppy, slightly medicinal nose. Taste... oh boy. This one’s a treat. Loads of malt and a recessed bitterness set the stage perfectly for a beautiful fresh and earthy hop finish. Oily mouthfeel, great carbonation, dangerously quaffable. Packs a nearly Imperial punch in terms of taste, and only clocks in at 7% ABV. Very nice!

draft at maproom.... semi-transparent orange amber brown pour with a thin but lasting frothy white head.... aroma lended itself to bitter citrus and pine notes ...assertive bitter pine and citris hop flavors with an apparent bitterness in the finish. quite nice and bold flavors to this ipa.
