3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 BeerLimey (2112) - California, USA - NOV 12, 2004
Bottle conditioned: Slightly clouded (yeast) orangey appearance, good head formation. Tropical fruits and bitter grapefruit aroma. Mild orangey palate, biting grapefruit but not overwhelming. Mild dry bitterness in the finish, stops a little short.

Very decent IPA, I had this last night at Najas Place, on tap. Nice appearance, hoppy floral aroma, and went down really smooth. This is nice.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 loweredsixth (946) - Clovis, California, USA - OCT 17, 2004
Hazy/cloudy deep orange color with a bulbous thick off-white head. The aroma was a little too sharp...floral/citrus/sour apple hops tones dominatec. The flavor was full of citrusy goodness...a slightlysweet bready character helped round things out. The feel was rather thick, creamy, with a dry finish.

Very floral aroma with the hops, very sweet. Aroma is very pleasant and not overwhelming. Bubbly disspating head to compliment the light orange/red coloration. Nice quick smooth hop bite to it, almost a touch of vanilla, and oranges. Overall a pretty good IPA. I need to take up to Pleasanton.

This IPA pours with a golden-orange body topped by a medium thick, creamy head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is sweet, grapefruity and hoppy with a slight bitterness and a little apricot. The flavor is sweet yet slightly bitter and grapefruity with a touch of apricot and a slightly bitter finish. Medium bodied, creamy smooth and slightly dry.

Thanks to DrunkAsASkunk for this California treat!!
Classic clear copper color under an ample head that gave off a fragrant aroma of citrusy hops.
The flavor is a well balanced affair between the malt and hops that trails off in pleasant bitterness. Well done IPA.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Shag (2229) - Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA - SEP 19, 2004
A pine filled hoppy aroma. The appearance is a dark orange color with decent lacing. A little thin on the palate but it still has a nice orange and grapefruit bite. A good effort!
