Pours with a largish, off-white, rocky head covering a hazy orange body with some small particles floating around. Good lacing and some retention left. Aroma is sweet, with a lot of nice floral hops (Centennial?). Taste is a bit on the thin side, with lingering bitterness.

Jul 7, 2008 Bottle from Foodery. Dark orange amber color with sediment floating all over even thought the last 1 cm of the bottle was not poured. Thick caramel cookie dough malt aroma with pine/grapefruit and perfumey hops. A lot of malt and yeast upon tasting. Interesting that an IPA showcases malt and yeast right up with the hops. Really sweet. Mildy bitter. Thick soft mouthfeel.

Jul 6, 2008 In short: A yeasty full body dirty IPA. Tasty and anything but clean.
How: Bottle 12oz, from hopscotch. Thanks a lot Eric. Fresh, consumed within days after receiving it.
The look: Beautiful cloudy dark orange body with a medium beige head
In long: Nose of pine-cone juice and orange. Yeasty, doughy, dusty and overall quite “dirty”. Tasty caramel, earthy/dirty pine-cones, coniferous tree bark, orange flavoured dough. This beer is actually quite dry and that dryness seems to come from a doughy and powdery yeast. This is not a thin hops-juice bottle, to the contrary…. or maybe not, what’s the contrary of a hops-juice bottle? A milk-chocolate bottle?

Jul 5, 2008 bottle at Undertow in Vero Beach, FL. Very hoppy IPA.... full of hops in the aroma, thick piney and citrus hops come alive on the nose. Medium to full body over the palate with a nice lingering bitter finish. Pours a deep golden/amber color with a decent white head. An above average IPA by far - quite delicious. Highly recommended for hop lovers out there - Lost Coast didn’t skimp on the hops in this one.

Jul 1, 2008 12oz - Aroma of caramel malt followed by pine and earthy hops. Pours copper with a medium head and great lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is sticky and tart. A nice session IPA. It is full bodied and full flavored without being too strong or bitter.
