22 oz bottle poured into a tulip glass has a orange amber color and a fair amount of chunky sediment floating about. head is initially one finger and falls quickly with little lacing. aroma has sharp hops, citrus, grapefruit, pine, caramel malt, and resinous floral dry hops. mouth feel is medium heavy with heavy carbonation. flavor is certainly hop heavy but has a decent dose of malts to level it off. resinous hops, caramel malt, citrus peels and a bit of floral. very drying and finishing with biting hop and malt. it is a little darker then most iipa’s and definitely heavy handed on the hops.

Sep 7, 2008 An unclear amber beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of hops as well as notes of grass and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of grass and grapefruit, leading to a dry grassy and very bitter finish.

Sep 5, 2008 Really, the only thing that isn’t that good on this is the aroma. Little floral or citrus, mostly it just smells strong. The flavor however is all that is great about San Diego/SoCal IPAs. Very hoppy, crisp and tasty. Love it.

Cloudy dark brown color, white head. Sweet malty and hoppy scent. Sweet and bitter hoppy taste. Medium to smooth mouthfeel, high bitterness.

Aug 25, 2008 Beautiful smell, hops in every variety, citrus, pine, spices, and fruit. Appearance, dark ruby copper golden gorgeous. Nice white head. Flavor: pine hops and spicy hops. Palate is also full bodied and very bitter, dry bitter. Great beer. I do love hops a lot and this shows off some good ones but also almost over does it on the finish.
