4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: JUN 23, 2011 3/16/05 Bottle: Oh yeah, this is what I’m talking about. Orange amber color with a moderate off white head. Aroma is hoppy and piney. Flavor starts lightly sweet abruptly interupted by a grapefruit rind bitterness and a touch of pine and finishing dry with an orange rind bitterness. Another San Diego winner! Thanks Chuck...I miss Hop Maniac !!!
9/13/05: This is Hop Maniac (formerly@On Tap, same Brewer, Chuck Silva) kicked up a notch!
9/25/05: Had it "On Tap" for the first time@Pizza Port Solona Beach. Damn Chuck, this IS Hop Maniac reincarnated!

LIght amber, tight white head with nice lace. Deep malt and deep malt on the nose. Thick malt with hops almost "hot" on the tongue.Bitter, but enticing hop finish. Wow.

Pours with an orange hue. Most of the hops are in for the full boil with a bittering which comes through well as well as lean on flavor time hopping. A bit of citrus still comes through, but a nice, crisp balance of bittering and malt and a touch of grapefruit. Very crisp, very clean tasting and well built, it goes down very easily.

Nice surprise - a good, hoppy IPA with tons of flavor. The aroma was - shall I say - reminiscent of fresh marijuana bud. Strange, I know. But true. Deep, golden color; cream-colored head. Threw a lot of sediment. Pine- herb taste, very refreshing. Heavy body leaves an almost sticky mouth feel. Very good IPA.

Not sure why this beer is classified as an IPA because it is not. Extremely mild on hops. Goes down like a lager. But, if you are not expecting an IPA or don’t like hops, it is actually a good beer that goes down smooth.

An average IPA. Mild hop taste takes a back seat to the malt. Not much aroma either. Does have a great copper color. Glad i tried it, but I won’t be yearning for more

Bottle. fantastic citrus and floral hop aromas. Medium bodied with lovely caramel malt undertones, with great hop bitterness throughout and a long lasting hop bitterness on the palate, that is wonderful.

Bottle, pours hazy amber with medium off white head. Aroma is citrus, tropical fruits, some malts, some pine. Smells good. Taste is very nice and hoppy with pineapple,mango, peach, some sweet malts. Good bitterness, medium dry.
Really nice IPA, very drinkable.

Pours cloudy amber, yeast particulates, tan frothy head. Herbal malts, pine, resin, citrus and grapefruit, maple syrup on the nose. Lots of bread and caramel malts, resinous hops, dank fruits with a decent body, dry bitterness on the finish. Fairly balanced and pretty good.
