3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught at Lucky Baldwins, Pasadena, California. Hazy golden, small head. Light grapefruit aroma. Dry, clean and crisp. light bodied - perhaps too much so. Quite hoppy with medium bitterness. A very drinkable summer beer, but the light body in combination with clean mouthfeel makes it a bit sharp. Scaling their regular IPA down didn’t really work all that well, but it’s stil a worthwile effort.

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.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Had at the Mammoth Brewfest and Stone 11th Anniversary. The brewer told me it was half an IPA. Hazy gold orange with a mild hop aroma. Flavor is a nice balance of sweet bready malt and citrus pine hops, but with half the quantity of a regular IPA. Light bodied. Perfect for session drinking. A fantastic beer.

On tap at Stone. Hazy yellow with a fizzy white head. Grapefruit, lemon, and hemp aroma. Citrus and hemp taste with a dry crisp finish.

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.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.

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.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
an almost budweiser color, complete with bright white head. nose had spice-accented hop characteristics, a little musty, with hints of orange. hoppy flavors were very dry and orange like and the finish was sometimes grainy and chalky. the yeast here does not seem to contribute anything positive the overall beer but rather lets the hops and malts alone try to make this beer, and the hops and malts certainy need some help.
