Re-rated. Light in color, almost golden even. Very classicly hoppy, citrusy and fruity, quite easy to drink. Much upgraded.

Strong floral hoppy aroma. Delicious fruity taste, not too hoppy for an IPA. Some other complex notes on the taste that I can’t quite name.

Far and away the star of this little Sacramento brewpub. Super hoppy, both in flavor and bitterness. Dry, clean and crisp. Damn good.

A light floral hop aroma. Flavor is mostly bittering hops, but they’re not too much that it’s totally dominated. Overall, pretty good stuff.

Big citrusy IPA here. Aroma is over the top citrus and the flavor follows suit. Intense bitterness so this beer stays on your tongue long after you finish your glass. Great brew.
