3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
OH YES! It’s now FRIDAY and THIS is what I’ve been craving ALL DAY LONG! Huge, BOLD, citrus aroma with lots of spice. Flavor is quite sweet but is balanced with a very POTENT bitterness. When I ask for an IPA... THIS is what I want!!!!!

Sampled at Magnolia, June 2007. Clear copper with a white head. Nice PacNW hop nose (cascade, amarillo, tropical fruits). Caramel, grapefruit, pine, citrus. Pleasant sweetness level, bitter finish yet smooth. Medium bodied, nice texture and fine-beaded carbonation. Kind of a hybrid American/Brit IPA. Good.

Cask, at the brewpub in san Francisco. deep amber-gold, thin dense head. Grapefruity aroma, sweet. Much more malt than the SpudBoy, really nice, fruity, ending with a healthy whopping dose of resinous piney bitterness. Low carbonation lends a smooth mouthfeel. I really liked this a lot.

Big west coast IPA. Long lingering pine. Slightly dirty-hazy, rich yellow. Goes really well with a salad, actually. (on cask at brewpub)

(On tap) Clear, pale, amber golden with a dense, off-white head. Discreetly citric nose. Fairly full-bodied with some caramel malt and then extreme accents of pine - this is almost resinated! Dry and bitter finish. 210307
