Draft (!) at Costa Mesa Yardhouse. Golden amber. Grapefruit. Pine and grapefruit. Imagine a grapefruit tree, planted by itself in the rocky mountains and raised by pines. By nature, a host for bitter citrus, but by nurture, an everpresent coniferous force of nature. Then chop it down and turn it into a beer. That is what you have here. But no splinters. The body is too nice for splinters.

Thjis is THEEEE perfect beer for me. This is the first IPA that has a grapefruit taste on my palate. Wonderful citrus taste and malt.

Slightly hazy amber pour. Medium head. Lots of grapefruit and pine in aroma. Decent caramel malt backbone. Flavor mirrors aroma. ---Rated via iPhone

Pours a murky orange. Smells super hoppy. Slight lacing. Oily mouth feel with prefect carbonation. Quite tasty. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Awwww yeah, powerful, like it should be. Very drinkable, be careful! Great double IPA, a go to beer ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

I often forget what a great selection of brews are available at Augustine’s. They don’t get the super-rare stuff, but the menu is always well curated. I am not sure what prevents this 8 percent beer from falling into the IIPA category. Poured the color of honey. Smelled and tasted sweeter than what I expected. Mixture of hops was nondescript. This beer is a good candidate to bring on a backpacking trip. Draft - Augustine’s - Atlanta, GA

Draft poured a hazy orange-brownish hue with a thin white head and excellent lacing. Moderate hop aroma. Initial flavor is a light sweet with a moderate bitter finish of long duration. Taste is a citrus hop mostly grapefruit and some orange, has a strong malty backbone making for a well-balanced IPA. Medium bodied, drinks like an imperial. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Appearance: Cloudy amber color with a finger thick white that leaves a fine lacing.
Aroma: Caramel malty, rich hoppy and fruity.
Palate: Medium + body. Slightly sweet and a nice bitterness. Average carbonation.
Taste: Well balanced and nice malty, tropical fruity and rich grape hoppy.
Overall impression: A really powerful and tasty IPA, yet smooth and easy drinkable.
Personal stats: Can from Systembolaget in Uddevalla, Sweden.

Nicely done, as usual. Pours orange / yellow with a fluffy off white head. Aroma is sweet caramel malts and fruits. Sweet, medium bodied taste with a sweet sticky finish. Very sweet and heavy for an IPA, reminds me more of a barley wine.

Can. Pours a rosey amber with a two finger foamy white head that slowly sinks to lacing. Aroma is peach, lemon, orange peel, vanilla, bread. Taste is big pine and pear punch, slight peach pulls through, creamy cereal malt body. Grapefruit, pineapple, resinous hops too.
