4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Rusty gold pour, does pour clear with a foamy beige head. Aroma is all citrus and pine with an implosion of grapefruit. Very lightly carbonated. what I look for is flavor and taste and this IPA has it. Grapefruit, perfect bitterness, and easily drinkable. Finish is dry, clean and abrupt with pinpoint crispness.
Would expect nothing else from this brewer. Cheers. Feel sorry for the lager lovers when I have a nice IPA. Quaff score 8 /10

Pours a hazy amber with a nice white head and hoppy, pine aroma. Taste is of hops, pine, grapefruit, and citrus, nice flavor, with a bitter finish and comes off as well balanced. Nice, drinkable IPA from Lost Coast.

Growler from Draft at the Fridge.Light Orange color with fluffy lasting white head. The owner said this was his wife’s favorite, and I can see why. Very nice hop presence, yet deliciously smooth. A very light and refreshing IPA. Excellent balance of flavors. A winner. I will definitely seek this out and have it again.

Pours a clear orange with a huge off-white head. Aroma of citrus and pine hops with a decent amount of caramel too. One of the best tasting IPAs I’ve ever had, with citrus/grapefruit, pine, and light grass that is extremely well balanced by the malts. Not too bitter, not to bland, just right for an IPA.

12 oz bottle. Visiting Wisconsin, found out my dad has a beer-of-the-month membership. Snagged one of these while he wasn’t looking! Haha. Anyway, this is a classic IPA. Great hop aromas at the start, and a generous grapefuit and pine nose to it. Flavor is both crisp and complex. I really enjoyed this IPA, looking forward to getting a hold of some more!

12 oz bottle, a bit oxidized. Pours golden orange with a small creamy light beige head. Aroma is sweet and citrusy, some piney notes in there as well with a strong biscuit and caramel maltiness. Flavor starts sweet and again citric, a bit spicy and herbal before a quickly grainy and biscuit finish. Medium body and a sharp carbonation. Ok beer, would like to try super fresh.

Pours a deep golden with close to an inch of frothy white head. Aroma is pretty standard hops. Some citrus, not over the top but good. Taste is similar, very standard. Not a ton of body for a big IPA. It’s good but I won’t seek it out very often. Above average.

Lovely hop pungent nose. Lots of citrus, pine and loviliness. Well carbonated. Decent body. Big foamy head. Solidly bitter with out being over the top - a little spicy hop action to finish. Very ’juicy’. Not quite up there with the greats, but a great everyday IPA...maybe the best value IPA in Japan at 350 yen a bottle? (Extra point awarded for price point).
