4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Golden yellor color with not much head, but some lacing down the sides of the glass. The aroma was full of fresh hops. The flavor matches the aroma. Full bodied and tasty.

510ml bottle, shared by Jay. Was opened, recapped, and refrigerated several hours ago. Bottled 5/20/13. Clear golden amber color. Good thin off-white head. Nice dotty lace. Real nice grassy, light citrus hop aroma. Medium plus body. Smooth, easy drinking. Good zesty sweet taste, light to moderate bitter. Awesome lighter IPA. Great flavor , super long aftertaste.

510ml bottle picked up in San Diego. Pours clear light orange color with a small white head. Nose is citrus, pepper, malt. Flavor is crisp, hoppy with nice malt balance. Dry finish. Nicely balanced; not as good as Pliny for sure.

Bottle (dated May 4, 2013). Alfalfa, pine, and pineapple hoppiness create a perfect, clean IPA aroma that’s just pungent enough. Pours a bright golden-orange color with a frothy, half-finger, white head. The bitterness bites early with a pine resin tone and a lingering grassy note. Light body and carbonation with a crisp, clean mouthfeel and a bitter moderate finish. I wish I could get this wonderful elixir on a regular basis.

Bottle through trade, golden pour with thin white head. Aroma of citrus hops and some nice malt. Taste is light fruit and some piney hops, wonderful blend.

Croustillante comme seul Russian River sait le faire, bonne résine, malt savoureux, finale moyennement sèche.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Not near as good as Pliny but still an excellent sessionable IPA. Surprised with some of the ratings for this, to me this is nothing special just a good ’by the book’ west coast IPA.

Hoppy aroma, very smooth. Nice pine hops. Better than pliny, which isnt hard to do.
