UPDATED: MAR 15, 2007 Cask conditioned version of their Ichthyosaur IPA available at the brewery. Citrusy aroma, good full body, lively pour. Has a good strong bite to it. Best ale from a brewpub in a while.

Smells alright, could use more hops. Surprisingly not all that hoppy in flavor either. Seems more like a pale. A bit creamy. Good not great.

Stuck in Sparks, seriously, isn’t that a Cash song, whatever it is, this place makes Oakland look like Dubai. Poured from a tap, but i’m rating the growler in my nasty Holiday Inn with the skinamax blaring. A guy at Whole Foods was saying this was the shit, and they just call it the "icky", so i thought it would be almost weed-like stank, little did i know it was named afetr a dino. It was an average IPA, not much hops, big malts. Good thing for this beer, extremely drinkable, almost too much. Finished the growler by the time Tera Patrick went silly, good stuff.

Very tasty. It seems like a session IPA. Low bitterness and mild aroma. To me it’s more like an American Pale Ale, but is very good.

Draft @ Great Basin. Pours a bright, clear golden-orange color; off-white head with creamy fine-bubbled lacing. Solid amounts of soft orange and citrus bitterness; reserved at first, but with a very nice orange Jell-O like note at the core. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy orange hoppiness and basic candy sugar at the core, but predominantly orange hoppiness: solid, resiny, bitter, and juicy; very minimal astringency. Tasty IPA. Medium finish: orange bitterness and a sugary malt sweetness; ends dry.

From a 12 oz bottle, the poured a clear amber color with a nice white head and good lacing rings. Nose of citrus and floral hops, on caramel malts. Medium in body and smooth in moutthfeel. Flavor is full of both floral and citrus hops and the finish is dry and softly bitter. Very flavorful and easy drinking IPA..
