DTM (307), Winters, California, USA Apr 24, 2008 Bottle from Safeway in Davis, CA. Pours a hazy yellow color and I could smell the hops right away. Hoppy citrus flavor with a good balance of malts. Pretty good IPA.
nick76 (1919), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 2, 2008 The aroma is kind of cheap with lager like malt and hops that are grassy and citrusy but unpleasant and not the right strength for an IPA. The appearance is pale gold with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall not the best IPA but drinkable enough. spikester (334), Salem, Oregon, USA Jun 29, 2008 Have enjoyed this many times but never wrote a review for it. Pours hazy amber with a one inch cream color head, good lacings.
Aroma is floral hops.
Taste is bitter citrus piney hops with sweet malts. Good IPA. haggis03a3 (90), Piedmont, California, USA Jun 25, 2008 On tap. Poured hazy golden color. A very different IPA compared to other west coast examples. Good malt character to balance the hops. Citrus and earthy aroma as well. Not too bitter or too anything. Very enjoyable. stoutlover72 (1311), NorCal, California, USA Jun 18, 2008 A very do-able IPA that is easily accessible in most supermarkets on the West Coast. I’ve seen this many, many times while shopping so in a pinch I picked up a sixer for the weekend and it came thru in fine fashoin.
The beer pours out a golden/orange color with a bit of haze to it. A nice 2-finger cap sat atop and while enjoying the aroma I could pick up some sweet oranges, some soft floral notes with a light malt character present. Decidedly hoppy up front, with the citrus hop attack asserting itself front and center. A second salvo of floral hops also does a number and it does get balanced by a good showing of malts. What’s not to enjoy about this beer. Easy to find, easy to enjoy...good makings of a nice beer. Oscbert (181), Sacramento, California, USA Jun 14, 2008 ~Pours a light cloudy orange color with frothy white head.
~Light, sweet, hoppy aroma.
~Light citrus hop taste.
~Medium feel. Soft bitter finish.
~This is a delicious IPA. Very mild compared to others, but very enjoyable.
