Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Riverside, California USA

Serve in Shaker, Tulip

[Draft @ brewery] Lightly hazed amber appearance, sweet pineapple aroma. Hoppy spiced palate, sweet lemony flavor, slight cardboard - just seemed a little off.

Light golden in color. Kind of cloudy. I can definitely taste the different kind of hops, I believe it’s called citru hops....??? That hops is what gives it a little bit of the grapefruit flavor. A pretty decent IPA

Off tap @ IE brewery,Grapefruit flavor, gold in color, white head, and sweet.I enjoyed their IPA.

On tap at IE...pours a hazy light orange with a fluffy white head...Aroma is citrus hops..Flavor is Citrus hops with a nice malt finish to it..thin with lots of carbonation.

Nose is mostly malty. Hints floral and citrus hops. Mostly caramel, and pale malts. Once again lightly tart. Pours golden with a nice head and lace. Light tart with moderate notes of citrus and floral hops. Caramel malts some sweetness and the underlying tartness again. Decent carbonation and rather drinkable. Interesting.

Upfront pine tree aroma with a deep bitter finish. British style so you aren’t smacked in the face with the hops like an American IPA. High alcohol (8%?) is hidden extremely well.

1 liter flip top ’Growler’ acquired in trade with Hophead22 (thanks!). Poured a medium amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of floral hops, grains, citrus, and there’s something there I just couldn’t put my finger on. LIttle spicey too. Tastes of citrus, some caramel, and the same floralness.

The best offering at the brewery. Nice golden color with a big fluffy white head. Hops evident on the nose with a big grapefruit and caramel backbone and a nice crisp finish.
