This is my favorite IPA as of right now. Rated 100 points by the Bev Mo beer ambassadors. Not very hoppy for an IPA, tastes between a pale and an IPA. Nice light malty flavor as well. I love Marin!!

Well constructed overall - malty with nice hop presence. Nothing noteworthy but a decent drink.

Hazy orange pour. Floral citrus, caramel melts, well balanced nose and flavor reflects the same. Quenching body and decent bitterness is physically felt in the drying mouth quality. NOt noteworthy, but a solid example of the style, and well constructed.

On tap. Straightforward IPA with a lot of clear, resin hop character, and not much else.

A volcanic spew of beige foam flowed out of the bottle as soon as I opened it. Once things calmed down, the massive foamy head sat like an iceberg atop a slighly hazy, caramel colored beer that had the expected Left coast hop profile with grapefruit rind and doughy sweetness of malts. A good balance of sweet pastry maltiness and pine/citrus hops with some dank basement tossed in the mix. A pleasant bitter follow.

Pour revealed a gold color. Pleasant light citrus aromas. Some moderate hops upfront. Smooth on the palate and light body. Sweeter malty flavors predominate. Easy to drink. Not bad.
