An good example of an APA. I felt that it had almost that west coast bite that so many look for.

A good example of a west coast APA. Orangish appearance with a large head. A good hoppy flavor with some orange and lemon citrus. Finish was bitter and sour. Good, yes, very good!

Draft at Max Lager's in downtown Atlanta. This beer poured a small sized off-white head that contained fine-large bubbles that mostly dissipated. The body was softly carbonated, transparent and the hue was orange. The nose of this beer was moderately hoppy with a bitter and hoppy flavor. The palate was tingly and this was a light bodied beer. This beer had a fair amount of lacing on the sides of my glass.

TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 19. This draft brew was enjoyed at the brewery in Atlanta Georgia. We had this brew with dinner. It was described as a West Coast IPA. It poured a small head of fine to very large sized ,mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a fair lace and a uncarbonated transparent light orange colored body. The aroma was very hoppy and it had a medium hoppy flavor. The mouthfeel was smooth at the start, hoppy and finished with a slightly bitter ending
