From tap at Pizza Port, Solana Beach. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a lacing white head. Aroma is grapefruit hops. Mild bitter initial flavour with a solid grapefruity flavour following into the finish. Light sweetness from the caramel malt too. Nice dry and bitter finish.

12 oz bottle from awaisanen. Pours a light coppery gold with a nice lasting tight head. Aroma is lots of citrusy grapefruit, raw and piney - nice. Clean dry light malt backbone flavor with ltos of citrus, orange and grapefruit hops, and a lightly earthy tacky bittering finish. Solid IPA all around.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Secret Santa. Pours a clear lighter amber color with a small white head that diminishes to a thin layer. The aroma is very fresh citrusy hops, some floral notes, and some moderately sweet toasty malt. The flavor is a nice balance between the moderately sweet caramel malt and the citrus/pine hoppy bitterness. The finish is skewed toward the bitter side with a lingering citrus finish. Medium bodied and easy to drink on a hot summer day. This is a solid IPA.

Tasted during outage: Another great American IPA with just the right balance of aroma and flavor so as to not conk you over the head with hops, but they’re there to let you know the beer is a serious IPA. Very drinkable, despite the alchohol. RERATED on 08/15/09... This stuff was super fresh, absolutely killer... the only other IPA that is better is the Yulesmith. Absolutely wonderful pine, grapefruit aromas, crisp, bright, and sublime... color of burnt orange amber, clear... alcohol is hidden very well. It has been over a year since I last tasted this one... and I’m loving it. It’s rare when a beer impresses me even more the 2nd time.

Tap @ Toronado. A medium golden color with a brown tint and a white head. Strong hop aroma and flavor with a nice citrus finish. Light and airy in the body.

From a 12 oz bottle this poured a clear gold with a medium foamy white head and good lacing. Nose of citrus and piney hops with a nice smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is grapefruit and pines. Long lingering bitter finish. This is great stuff. Glad I have five bottles left.
