bottle. Very floral and fruity aroma. Had a sharp bitterness. In all it was an average IPA.

Good hopa aroma. Great up front bitterness that carries through the beer quite well. A very good session brew. A good example.

Red copper hue. Dark fruit, cascade hop aroma. Slight roasted flavor, a little pale, with a small hint of citrus hop flavor at the end. Wrong end of the IPA-hop spectrum for me.

classic cascade aroma, medium orange/red, piney resinous hops, stickiness and sweetness mixed into a medium body, a well rounded delightful brew

UPDATED: APR 15, 2012 Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly lasting. Body is light to medium amber. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), moderately hoppy (resin). Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, moderately to heavily bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly astringent, lightly alcoholic. A bog standard citric, bitter, one-dimensional resin bomb.

Very nic IPA from Humboldt. Wonderful sweet, toasty hop aroma. Nice red-brown appearance with a nice fluffy white head. Nice lacing. Very nice sweet hop flavor, a bit light on the palate due to low ABV. In my opinion, the perfect IPA if looking for lower ABV. Excellent.

A very cool looking redish tinted brew. Average on the head. Has a solid hoppy aroma with a citrus background. Hoppy ,bitter, pink lemondad/grapefruit hints. I like it, what else can I say.

This one was poured off draught with a very clean looking ruby red color and a lovely fluffy white head. The aroma is what this beer is all about with florals, citrus, and weed being the overpowering pleasantry. The taste is very subdued, and i found little qualities in it aside from a faint hoppiness and a subtle, and i do mean really subtle malty ending. It finished very dry, but surprisingly clean with a mild degree of carbonation. The biggest problem i had with it was its real lack of kick anywhere. It seemed like a typical Calfornian IPA.

Nice deep copper color with medium sized head, citrus hop aroma with hints of malt. taste is of citrus and grapefruit nicely balanced by a sweet malt presence, with a citrus hop finish. nicely balnced and easy drinking. not as over the top as your typical IPA, but a very enjoyable beer

Pours with a large brownish head. Almost orange in color. Transluminate. Well balanced between the hops and the malt. Hop bitterness dominates on the finish. Hops have a grassy citrus flavor. Good IPA.
