Apr 15, 2007 On tap at the 10th Annual San Diego Strong Ale Festival: Pours a transparent bright golden bronze with a well-lacing, frothy white head. Sweet, lightly toasted caramel malty aroma has a good fresh hoppy bitterness. Starts sweet and candy-like with some mild fresh citrusy grapefruity green hops. Finishes sugary and bittersweet with a hint of drier, warming tartness. An average double IPA.

Mar 25, 2007 copper color with lacy white head. there’s some carmel and almond with some grapefruit and orange. a little salty, oddly enough. (also at the strong ale fest)

Feb 7, 2007 10th Annual SD Strong Ale Fest: Poured a lightly hazzed copper color with a thin off-white head. The aroma had a moderate amount of grapefruity hops. not too much and not too little. Caramel malt takes up the slack. Malty sweet flavor at the start. This gives way to a grapefruity middle. Dry and mildly bitter finish.
