Jan 24, 2007 Another excellent beer from RRB. Tapped at O’Brien’s in San Diego. Golden in color with a frothy start. Lots of hops and pine start and a dry finish. Makes you wanting another taste very quickly. I am learning that you can’t go wrong with a Russian River Brew.

Jan 14, 2007 On Tap at B3 learning session
POurs light gold with a nice frothy white head. Incredible nose of hops.. and hops... piney, grapefruit and some apricot
Flavor has a low malt flavor with some caramel highlights and the hop flavors are resiny, citrus like with some apricot flavor
Finish is dry long lasting with various hoppy notes lingering
Overall: when tasted fresh this IPA is amazing one of my very favorites... though it is available all the time this is an IPA worth seeking out

Nov 2, 2006 On Tap @ O’Brien’s. Clear light copper color with off white head. Good lacing along the glass. Nice medium pine hop aroma. Taste is solid pine hoppiness. It has just the slightest malty sweetness to go along with the hops. Tasty IPA.

Oct 9, 2006 A much cleaner hop character than blind pig. That seems to fool many palate into thinking it not as hoppy. Much preferable to me than the Blind Pig. Clean inviting hop bitterness that is artfully balanced with a very pleasing nose. Round crisp and dry on the palate it is a mercedes to the Blind pigs muscle car.
