Very clear golden yellow, slight laced head. Mild aroma, tastes is grainy and bitter. Had this along side another one called Kashd In that is alot better. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Not as good at the end as it was at the beginning. Got a little oily it seemed and was a shade "waterier" than its cousin the Poor Man’s IPA. Still, cant say I didn’t enjoy it. Good stuff overall.

On tap at brewery. Clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Huge earthy lawn clippings, grass, straw, and more vegetal grassiness to the aroma and taste with a big bitter bite.

On tap @ Toronado: Deep aroma of hops. Flavor is semi-sweet yet has an extremely bitter bite of hops along with a taste of sweet onion. Metallic finish. No formation of head, clear golden liquid.

On tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad. clear yellow gold. Bitter pine grapefruit nose. Nice bitter aromatic hop character, and a dry bitter finish. The 7.1% is well hidden

Tap @ PP Carlsbad. Clear golden pour with a rocky white head. Aroma is pine with citrus and a clean, slightly grainy malt backbone. Taste is on the bitter side with some sharp pine and balancing malt sweetness (minimal though). Clean, lightly coating mouthfeel. Well done IIPA with pine and bitterness as the main features.

On tap at the source. Pours with a clear golden orange hued body with a lasting egg shell white head with good lace and retention. Aromas are of citrus, medium ester, lots of hops, grassy, alcohol, light caramel. Flavors are citrusy, herbaceous and a touch boozy with some bready and light caramel malt back bone. Lively bubbles, bone dry and boozy. A great DIPA, nothing unexpected from a place like Pizza Port.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is toasted malty and light hops fruity. Bitter and smooth peachy. Bitter and lingering fruity. Ends dry, bitter and yet smooth hops fruity into the far finish.

(Draught) Pours a clear golden body with a medium white head. Aroma of grass, pine, grapefruit, and stone fruit. Flavor of pine, grass, caramel, and pineapple with a moderately bitter finish.

The pour is orange in color with a white head, nice lacing on it, too. Intense grapefruit and pineapple aroma. Tons of pine in there, too. A bit of sweet malt, mostly caramel, and a touch of floral hops. The citrus flavor is quite strong with plenty of grapefruit. Pineapple, pine, and tangerine add to the awesome hop flavor. Mild bitterness with a pleasant malt sweetness throughout.
