Very pale orange, lightly hazy. Aroma mainly of freshly peeled orange as well as some spruciness, lightly biscuity. Less intense aroma than expected. Flavor is acidic and highly citric, with a hesitant mention of florality, moderate EtOH presence. Light, generically toasted maltiness. A fruity, surprisingly moderate bitterness closes this off, albeit interspersed with little bursts of spicy, burning hoppiness. With the huge mass of ingredients that went into this, I was hoping for more.

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.

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.
