On tap. Head is pure white and leaves surprisingly good lace. Aroma has very little mild grapefruit hops, maybe a little sweetness. Weak taste of honey malt and moderate bitterness, but something else. Vegetables, celery and tomatoes hiding in there. Palate is a little too light, too watery. Oh well.

Aug 29, 2008 Poured from the 12oz bottle amber in color with an off-white head. aroma is of piney hops. Flavor a slight malt with the same piney hops with a bitter hop finish.

does not count  Aug 29, 2008 imagine a good american pale ale, but a little more hoppy yet well balanced....standard.

Aug 27, 2008 Pours a light gold with a thin white head. Pretty nice hop aroma, but it lacks the hoppy taste, making this taste more like an American pale ale than an IPA. This is a fairly sessionable IPA, but it is nothing special.

Aug 23, 2008 On draft at Player’s Sports Bar in Clairemont.
Appearance is clear orange hue, thin white layer of foam, fair lacing.
Smell is mostly pale bread malts over very light pine hops, clean and crisp but non-descript.
Taste is subtle malts balanced by bittering hops, grains and yeast in the middle, finishes clean.
Mouthfeel is light/medium-bodied, watery texture, light carbonation.
Drinkability is fair, this feels more like a lightly hopped pale ale than an IPA, some decent balance and easy-drinking, but nothing too exciting going on here.

Aug 23, 2008 I have had many of these over the years and it fails to dissapoint. Nice sweet caramel malt backbone with a light toast component. Hops are moderate with pine and grapefruit and even a bit of spicy resin. Well put together.
