Feb 4, 2008 highly enjoyable. Starts citric and then the piney thick resiny hops burst through and stay with you for a while. Loved it.

May 26, 2009 Underrated, big time! Nice fluffy head with a transparent copper/orange hue. Good looking IPA! Huge pungent pine hop aroma. A very fresh and crisp hop aroma. A very nice IPA aroma; one of the best if you ask me. Slight citrus aroma as well, but the hops dominate. Very big pine hop taste. The flavoring and bittering hop are both an extreme pine hop flavor. A very fresh hop taste as well. Not a very creamy palate, but the beer is still relatively smooth. The bittering hop flavor is simply awesome. Overall, this beer has a hop profile to it that exceeds its current ranking. I don’t understand why it is underrated, but oh well. Fine brew indeed.

Apr 2, 2008 I really enjoyed this one.....it starts with a fantastic hop aroma to start very floral slight grapefruit, and tart tropical fruit with a nice carmel scents from the mal as well.....it had a nice golden amber color a good thick off-white colored head. The taste was phenominal....One of the best California IPA’s I have had recently.Loved this one. It had a nice hoppy bang to starp, grapefruit,pine,slightly floral, a nice maltyness to it as well I thought that it was a Hop forward IPA but nicely balanced and had a nice finish, nothing that lingered around for too long but it finished strong.
A definate do again beer for me

May 8, 2008 Nice IPA. Balanced malt and hops but finishes with a good floral hop taste and arome. Full bodied in the mouth.

Mar 27, 2009 Bomber poured into a pint glass. Clear golden orange with a cascading fluffy light beige head. Great retention and lots of lacing. Aromas of grapefruit, caraway, and bread dough. harp resinous hop flavor with sourdoughy malt as a basis. Very herbal and spicy rather than the typical citrusy flavor of a west coast IPA. Very solid bitterness with a touch of hop astringency. Medium bodied with perfect carbonation. A very good IPA, for hopheads only.

Aug 24, 2008 Pours dark honey with 2 finger head, that fades slowly to 1 finger and leaves alot of lacing. Aroma is floral and citrus hops, cranberries, and toffee like sweetness. Flavor starts off flowery, with a sweetness, like dark chocolate covered caramel. Followed by grapefruit and a nice crisp resiny finish. Mouthfeel’s a little on the thin side for an IPA but the dry finish carries it well. It all pulls together to be equally good as a sipper or a slurper.
