4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pale amber brew, clear as glass. The pour cascaded into a towering creamy head with excellent lacing. Pungent hop nose smells of flowers, pineapple, and sauvignon blanc. Surprisingly sweet with flavors of fruit salad, grapefruit and nectarine, orange blossom honey, and cinnamon. Medium bodied with a resiny, sharp bitter pinesap finish. Hopheads, rejoice!- plenty of hop flavor with substantial, but not scalding, bitterness.

Pours a pale honey color w/ a medium sized semi creamy froth. The aroma is slightly earthy w/ some aged citrus rind. Medium nectar w/ mellow residual effers creating an almost creamy texture. A malty style w/ balanced hops. This is a good brew indeed. The hops are tame yet defined. Moderate caramel and leather. Not too citrusy. The finish is well bittered and perfect. I could drink this all day. Overall: this is an IPA that is balanced, and it’s a true 7%. A solid brew!

A pretty good IPA. It’s heavily hopped, but not too much so its unenjoyable. Not my favorite of the Mendocinos, but I enjoy this beer on draft down at the brewery when Im in the mood.

Thin Lingering head with a slightly cloudy gold color body. Hhoppy aroma and flavor, good amount of bite. The taste is what you would expect from an IPA.

12 oz bottle at the Hong Kong Brew House. Pours a golden orange. Citrus hop aroma, nice head with heavy lacing. I like this beer because it is not over-hopped for an IPA. NIce balance with the malt and very drinkable. Lots of American IPA get high ratings based on how hoppy they are. Bought 6 bottles at the bar and took them home.

Hoppy aroma. Cloudy golden appearance. The taste is not aggressive or original but it is very good. With many IPA’s the bitterness becomes overwhelming, this beer could be drank all night.

Very decent IPA though not exceptional. Cloudy gold appearance. Soapy foamy head. Smooth palate. Smells of grains and citrus. Tastes of earth, oranges and grass.

Floral notes, slightly sweet aroma with some pine infused. Pours thick for an IPA with a foamy white head that laces well. Clear copper/orange color. Taste is solid with balanced hops leading, malt in the middle. Only Negative is a slightly too bitter after taste. But that is washed away by the next sip. Enjoy.

Custom craft glass. Aroma includes spruce and has a boring light orange color nice foam head. Overall a very light tasting IPA especially for 7%. Would recommend buying again in a 6 pack.

Poured in to the glass from the bomber. Aroma is of dank hops. Flavor is very bitter and lacking citrus notes, rather earthy tones come through. Palate is oily and sticky. Overall its a ipa, just harsh and in your face bitter. Nice lacing. Slightly hazy
