Draft @ Hulmeville Inn. Pours a golden yellow with some white head. Very floral aroma and flavor compared to the Wipe out, more of a fan of wipe out but this is a solid west coast IPA.

Pours a clear golden yellow with medium foamy white head. Aroma is pine, grapefruit..all hops. Flavor is initially a quick sweet malt followed by huge piney hops and bitter grapefruit in the finish. Bitterness lasts and lasts. Very nice fresh hop beer - simcoe a little to bitter for me though.

22oz bottle. A beautiful golden color with a foamy head and nice lacing. The aroma explodes with hops and grapefruits. A smooth and very refreshing dry hopped beer.

22 oz. bottle from South Bay Drugs. Golden orange pour with a bubbly white head. Aroma of pine needles and tangerine peel. Bitter piney hops as well as mouth puckering bitter grapefruit. Not much in the way of balance here just a full asault of bitter hops. The finish is clean and good to the bitter end. Absolutely loved this one. Another great beer from Port.

22oz bomber, fresh from south bay drugs. pours a beautiful, hazy, yellow gold with a thick, bubbly white head and great lacing. aroma is amazingly fresh with huge fruity hop notes of apricot nectar, peach, tangerine, and pink grapefruit with sweet floral notes, fresh cut pine, raw herbal hop buds, and just a touch of crackery malts. flavor is very tasty as well with juicy, fruity hop notes of orange, grapefruit, and lemon with milder touches of sweet pineapple and apricot and more raw, herbal, piney, and bitter hops on the finish. palate is bright, crisp, and very fresh and juicy on the tongue with solid carbonation. overall, a very well executed fresh hop ale.

it was said best in Pineapple Express "It smells like God’s v@g!n@". Golden-apricot hued with a tenacious thick and fine bubbled head. Love the smell of those fresh hops, pungent, floral, grapefruit citrus, piney, morning dew atop "bud". Taste is less than the nose, light fruity malt hides under dominating citrus, mild caramel, bitter finish. Palate is clean and fresh.

bottle. great fresh aroma. grapefruit and orange peel. spicy mouth feel. very good, but a tad bit bitter. I like bitter, but there isn’t as much balance as I would like.

bottle. Pours a cloudy golden color with a frothy/creamy white head which retains extremely well throughout. A good solid fingers worth. Nose is piney hops with a light hint of a biscuity maltthat is kinda like crackers. Palate is fluffy and creamy with a light tingle that is appreciated. wow, this nose is quite fresh and very needly. Flavor is a light crackery biscuit malt up front with a big bitter hop finish in the tongue.
