From tap@Lucky Baldwins, gold in color,white head,med hops,great taste,I could drink this beer all day.

Tap @ Toronado SD. Mostly clear deep gold with a small white ring, not much lacing. Faint hop nose with some grass and cereal grain. Should be classified as a pale.

Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Light grapefruit aroma. Light grapefruit and light pine flavor with light malt. Medium bodied. Light grapefruit and light pine lingers. Nice lingering bitterness.

CASK at The York. Nose is very plain with light malt and flower petals. Flavor much the same - this seems like a pale with its smooth grain and lightly hopped favors. Nice minerally finish on cask.

A nice little poke at all the double and triple IPA’s, this small beer is a bit hoppy and would be nice to sit and sip on for a while.

Somewhat enjoyable IPA. Served cold from tap. It looked like a macro in the glass, like a Pabst or Bud or something. Slightly unappealing at first, but the taste was decent. Not revelatory. Poured orange-ish with a thin white head. Good hops, no lacing, good medium body.

Overall just a bland half ipa. Tastes like corn chips. Saaz like bitterness with a dry finish. Not recommended.

10th rating of this mediocore IPA. On tap @ Toronado Sd. Pours orange with a bright white 1 finger head. Nose is slightly hoppy with a touch of citrus. Taste is hoppy with a bit of citrus as well. This for me was a big old eh.
