3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20From the bottle. Small head with heavy lacing. Nice citrus flavor and hop blend. Solid lingering aftertaste. Great west coast IPA.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Has super hoppy smell and flavor in the beginning. After that it very slowely degrades into this bitter aftertaste and leaves a happy feeling in my mouth and soul. Knowing we are in California almost next to the source on a grad night...

January 2012. 22 oz. bottle. Another one of the great West Coast IPA’s out there that is widely available. Awesome IPA all the way.

[US West Coast Trip 2013] Aroman är fantastisk ! Humle, fruktighet, grapefrukt, underbar ! Smaken är verkligen inte sämre, faktiskt bättre. Den fylliga, fruktiga, färska och beska smaken är väl balanserad!
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Pours a clear copperish color with a moderate off-white head on it. Nose is quite hoppy, with a lot of citrus in there, yet stays very light and clean. Taste is only slightly bitter, but has a nice balance to it. Feels slightly sticky, yet remains quite light. Very drinkable IPA.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Hazy yellow with thick off white head that laces nicely as it goes. Aroma is light piney and a bit fruity. Mouthfeel is somewhat thin and a bit watery. Taste is piney citrus with a good malty back bone that turns bitter quickly. Nice lingering bitterness on the aftertaste. Overall a very well balanced IPA.
4.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Looking at some of these ratings makes me think these are rival breweries ! This is always a safe bet and a great representation of a west coast ipa. You could never go wrong with this sure shot at 3 months old or less. Any ratings below 4 should stick to lagers, enjoyvur coors lights !

Subtle orange hue hints at malt. Hops are huge and lovely but fade to bitter quickly.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Orange/amber with sturdy, sticky, creamy foam. Piney and earthy hop aroma with notes of smoke, mango and ruby grapefruit. Juicy and lucious… a berfect balance of honeyish malt and resiny/spicy/citrusy hop. Rounded mouthfeel could stand a bit more carbonation. Beautiful bittersweet finish. I’d prefer it slightly drier, but it’s pretty close to ideal.
