A decent beer. Smells malty and sweet with traces of hops. Appearance is a translucent amber/gold. However taste is reminiscent of metal, and various citrus flavors. Aftertaste is definitely hoppy, but I can’t shake the feeling that this brew is the same as some other Pyramid offering -- but with more hops. I’ll drink it, but I’m still disappointed...

Dec 1, 2008 A good IPA in my opinion that has what many lack: A touch of sweetness and a little alcohol burn. The other chracteristics are typical: Apricot and citrus, strong hoppiness. Overall, good.

does not count  Nov 29, 2008 APPEARANCE: Pours a clear light orange copper color with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Very little lacing lacing.
AROMA:
Mild aroma for an IPA, hops with hints of apricots.
TASTE:
Citrusy hop bitterness balanced with some caramel sweetness again a hint of apricots. Finishes with some piney undertones.
MOUTHFEEL:
Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Finishes a bit dry.
DRINKABILITY:
Relatively drinkable because there is not a ton of flavor. Nothing great but nothing bad.
NOTES: BBCSD-T2B2

Nov 21, 2008 This is a pretty standard IPA in my opinion. It’s nothing crazy but very stable at bringin the hops with some malt to balance.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours golden with a slight reddish hue. Capped by a light tan creamy head. Hops dominate the nose with a faint malt overtone. Creamy mouthfeel. Strong hop flavor on first taste, fairly bitter aftertaste. Hopheads will love this one. Pairs will with a bag of nuts or snack mix.

Nov 17, 2008 On tap at Pyramid Alehouse at OAK. Aroma: non-existant. Sure, there are a few grassy florals on the nose. But that does not translate to aroma. As for palate, it does have its bittering hops. Very nice bracing palate-crusher hops in this one. However, it really lacks in the aromatic ones. Flavor is standard ale malt profile. It’s OK. Something I would drink at the airport, but not worth seeking.
