12oz bottle. Poured a golden toasty brown color with a slight haze and little head, but some lacing on the glass. Aroma is grapefruity hops, a touch of fruitiness, a little malt sweetness. Flavor is nice crisp hop bitterness throughout, with light malt sweetness and grain, bitter hop aftertaste. Mouthfeel is medium to light bodied, with soft texture and mellow carbonation.

One of my favorite beers. This is definitely a beer I look forward to on a regular basis. Great taste and flavor along with a solid bitter finish. I find everything to be in the right balance. Does not disappoint.

Pours a rich, cloudy yellow with a thick off-white head. It has a fresh, crisp aroma of lemons, hops and malt. It tastes of delicious, sweet malt, citrus and hops. A very well-balanced, flavourful beer. Has a nice mouthfeel that is not watery but not overpowering either.

A notch belolw Lagunitas IPA but at 2 bucks cheaper a sixer it is a wash. Same grapefruit smell when opened. Carbonation is a bit lighter, but the taste is excellent. NIce bitter with no aftertaste. I heartily approve.

Awesome IPA! I’ve had this beer a couple of times and enjoyed it every time. At $8 a sixer is a good price. But while staying up in Sunriver, OR for vacation, stocking up at Costco for the week. Saw a case of this for $22 Great price. so I bought 3 cases. One case for vacation and two for back home in Marin County. Hops and carmel done Perfect. Well balanced IPA... bottle conditioned helps with keeping it Real.
