May 17, 2008 22oz. bomber. Somewhat dirty brass colored pour. Not a lot of foam, and no lace. Strong grapefruit/citrus aroma and flavor. The hop varieties seem balanced, but there is not an overpowering bitterness. The beer really begins to shine as it warms just a bit, so don’t go ice cold on it. Very nice IPA.

May 15, 2008 22oz bottle. Slightly hazy burnt orange with a creamy head. Grapefruit, some mango, pine, toffee fill the nose. The body is full and sweet with a smooth carbonation. Nice full maltiness, on the pale side. Hops are smooth and citric-tropical. Not overly bitter. Maybe a little on the malty side, which shouldn’t make sense for a SD IPA, but ya, I live in southern Califirnia, kinda. I’m down with it, but not the most amazing rendition.

May 14, 2008 It’s an American IPA and I do like it. Cloudy rich amber with a huge firm white head that looks like you could stand a spoon up in it. Nose of grapefruit, orange, and pine. Taste of grapefruit, pine, and sweet malts, with a strong bitter finish. Not crazy bitter, but the bitterness lasts.

May 11, 2008 Slightly hazy golden pour with a small white head. Lots of hopiness in tha arome, balanced out with some citrus and malt. Flavor is very similar, with the hop bite nicely balanced out by caramel and fruit flavors. A nicely done IPA.

May 8, 2008 Pours a clear sparkling amber with a small off-white head. Quite bitter with a hint of caramel aromas. Lots of bittering hops. I could spot the amarillo and the simcoe. Medium bodied. Also some residual sugars. High carbonation. Long bitter finish. Good.

Pours somewhat hazy amber with a nice whitish head. Smell is really nice citrusy, fruity biting piny hops with some nice sweetness to it. Taste is awesomely hopped with refreshing and crisp citrusy hopping and just enough malt to balance, but the hops shine and keep this really drinkable and refreshing. Nice body and carbonation. This is one of my favorite IPAs.
