On tap @ Thrash Zone (a Bay Area beer on tap in Yokohama, Japan? Yes!) . Beatiful clear orange tea-like amber colour. So clear that I could see through the glass. Smell of slight banana, pine. Taste is very smooth and fresh. Not dominated by the hop presence, merely highlighted within the malt frame. Nice balance and highly drinkable.

I had this on tap at Kclingers in Hanover, PA and I must say it is one of the better IPA that I have had. It has a nice hop flavor without the bitter aftertaste.

Special thanks to my buddy Costello for sharing this one. Pours cloudy golden with amber hue. Thin white head. Aroma of hops and citrus. Taste is nice balance between hops, citrus, grass... Dry finish. Light body.

Awesome SF IPA that I never tried before - which is strange. Pours a pale gold with thin, white foam. Flavor is all floral hops - but a huge dose of florals. Very dry finish.

This beer was great. Clean finish. Huge hop flavors. Golden color when poured that leaves a decent head.

Slightly cloudy golden pour with a thin white head. Aroma of piney, fruity hops. Good flavor of citrusy, piney hops, there’s also a mild malt presence. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and soft carbonation.
