Oct 16, 2008 From a 22 oz bottle this poured a rich slightly hazy copper color with an off-white head and good lacing. Nose is a strong blend of various hops, including pine, flowers, and citrus A feast for the nose. Very nice mouthfeel, slick but not oily. Flavor is mostly the hops bur there is caramel malts in good balance. Finish is long and bitter. Very easy to drink. A very good IPA.

Oct 15, 2008 Poured from tap an orangy-amber with medium sized off-white head. Aroma is floral citrus hoppy. Flavor has a nice little touch of caramel that is quickly overtaken by floral hops, citrus, and pine. Mild touch of sweet to the palate but carries a huge bitterness that somehow does not become astringent or vegetale. Nice job on this one. I would drink more if I could find it in the store in my area.

Oct 9, 2008 Pours a hazy copper with a nice white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, pine. Flavor is citrusy hops, pine, malt, and a nice bitter hoppy finish. Not quite the hop bomb that some of the other west coast IPA’s are but this is a great quality California IPA that can’t be beat for the price

Oct 9, 2008 Bottle.Copper colored, small white head. nice solid hop nose. Tastes similar to the Hop 15 but a bit milder. Just a great amount of hop flavor, but by no means overpowering. Bitter finish, but again, nothing too overpowering. Very well balanced.

Oct 4, 2008 Golden orange color with a nice head and good lacing. Citrusy hops aroma with some caramel in the background. Flavors match the aromas; strong hops notes up front, characterized by wheat and grass, with a caramel sweetness that balanced things out beautifully. Medium to full bodied, medium carbonation, and a crisp, clean finish. My first sample from this brewer, and it’s clear these guys are serious about their craft.
