4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Served from a growler. Russian River IPA pours a light amber color with a small head. Great lacing throughout the glass.
This beer is straight up West Coast IPA. A ton of hops but just enough malt backbone to tether on balanced. Fruity. Pineapple and grapefruit explode in the aroma with a small amount of pine. Small bready malt backbone.
In the taste, once again hops rule. The grapefruit comes though mostly and the pine makes more of appearance then it did in the aroma. Nice bitterness that lingers on the tongue.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and dry. Goes down very nicely.

Draught @ City Beer, San Francisco, CA
Pours light orange with a smooth white head. Aroma has notes of fruity hops, malts and citrus. Taste is quite fruity with citrusy hops, pine and grass notes. Finish is slightly bitter and tingly. Well balanced, tasty IPA. Not as overly hoppy as Blind Pig, but more balanced.

on tap at Stone World Bistro & Gardens. Orange colour, great looks. Orange taste, a palate erase, a sipper. Well crafted IPA.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at City Beer. Pours lightly hazed golden amber with white head. Aromas of pine, grapefruit, tropical fruit, and some caramel malts. Flavors of grapefruit, pine, bit of tropical fruit, and some caramel malts. Nice amount of bitterness and really balanced. Nice IPA.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Draft at Stone. Pours clear copper with a slight white head that leaves sticky lacing down the sides of the glass. Aroma is clean, light pine, soft floral notes, unifying bitterness, and a very dry, bready malt backbone. Taste follows the aroma with balanced pine, bitterness, and an exceptionally clean malt profile. Mouth feel is crisp with enough substance to give the clean malt profile a good background presence. Technical perfection. Excellent beer.
