Served on cask at O’Briens back in early August. Opaque yellow-orange color with a bit of whispy white lacing. Spicy hops aroma with bitter grapefruit citrus and a grainy malt undertone. Earthy finish with a character of soil, pine resin and orange peel. I remember it being served too warm, which probably downgraded my experience overall. Pretty decent.

Nov 27, 2008 Draft @ Pizza Port - San Clemente. Pours a dense, slightly pulpy orange color; off-white head with great retention and fine-bubbled lacing that coats the glass; great pour. Solid amounts of candy sugar coupled to a dense citrus, grapefruit, and earthy bitterness; solid and clearly expressed. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: dense, chewy oranges, citrus, and earthy bitterness; pitty fruits, orange peel, some dense hop bitterness; very solid, tasty IPA. Lengthy finish: bitter citrus, earthiness, and toasty malts.

Nov 20, 2008 The sweetness fades to bitter in the mouth. A lot of bitter! The two tastes never meld together so it never becomes more than a sum of its parts, however, those parts are still excellent. This is a great beer, but when at PIzza Port you have access to so much amazing beer that this tastes ordinary at the time.

Sep 29, 2008 On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours hazy with a thin white head, some lace. Smells caramelly grassy and hoppy bitter. Tastes grassy and bitter hoppy with some lingering caramel sweetness. Slight citrus flavor as well. Full body, good carbonation.
