SCrazy (1), , California, USA does not count Aug 2, 2008 This beer is great! Everything I look for in a Pale Ale. Nice color, crisp, spicy, citrus, malty. Clean and well hopped. golubj (951), Redwood City, California, USA Jul 28, 2008 Bottle. Deep orange / amber pour with a lot of white head. Aroma is grapefruit and orange peel. Flavor has some nice malt, sort of like an amber, some caramel and some biscuit aspects. The hops have light citrus flavor, but mainly provide somewhat sharp bitterness (like dry hopping). Decent. doubleo (682), San Diego, California, USA Jul 21, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours amber with a huge, fizzy, offwhite head with great retention and spider web lace. Smells slightly metallic hoppy with just a hint of malt character. Tastes light, bitter hoppy. Good citrus flavors with a little bit of malty sweetness to mellow the bitterness towards the finish. Medium body, crisp carbonation. DYCSoccer17 (2004), Davis, California, USA Jun 29, 2008 22 ounce bomber purchased at BevMo in Vacaville, CA. Some fruity, floral hop notes in the nose with a good deal of sugary sweetness present. Not much else other than the sweetness going on in the nose. Transparent copper body with a decent off-white head. The head is pretty strong and the lacing is decent. Starts a bit herbal before it becomes quite a bit husky. Lots of tannins, with a pretty dry, bitter grapefruit-earthy finish that is long. Not a fan of the dryness and the intense bitterness to finish. Just seems to be missing a nice malt balance. SDbruboy (1807), San Diego, California, USA Jun 21, 2008 22 oz. bottle from BevMo LaJolla. Pours clear, bright copper-amber with a moderate sized off-white head. Aroma of doughy malts, citrus, with toasty notes and floral hops. Flavor of toasty and biscuity malts, hops are crisp with evergreen and floral tastes. Medium body, tingly carbonation.
