Oct 6, 2006 12 oz. bottle, courtesy Ross. Cloudy amber pour sports a medium white head and very good lace. Aroma is softly spicy and floral with a touch of citrus over a nice grainy base and some notes of honey. Medium body with a richness not usually seen with an IPA. Very smooth, goes down easily. Falvor is nicely balanced between a full caramel sweetness and a light grapefruit bitterness. A lingering dry finish falls right into place. In a world where IPA’s are so ubiquitous, this stands out as an excellent example of a classic IPA. A real pleasure to drink.

Sep 17, 2006 Draft at a Basque restaurant in Boise, ID. Other than the fact that the bartender told me this beer was from San Jose, I really enjoyed it. Good bitter-sweet balance with a more citrus (and maybe just a little bitter chocolate) than pine hop character and enough malt to keep it from being too much of a "hop tea." Malt sweetness may have been a little "flanny," but maybe it was just my imagination getting away with me in the distinctly Iberian setting. Went great with some Basque cheese, cured meats, and shrimp-stuffed red peppers.

Sep 8, 2006 Updated: Feb 26, 2008Bottle... NTB Ernesto Festo ’06... Enjoyed this one while watching the rain come down sideways in sheets at about 40 mph. Huge waves pounding the sand. Storm’s a comin’, but it aint here yet! … Lightly hazy, deep golden ale with a large frothy, off-white head. Excellent retention. Black tea, toffee, peppery hops and a splash of grapefruit in the aroma. Malty, fruity flavor leans on the sweet side of balance despite the juicy hops. Medium-bodied and creamy with soft carbonation. Lengthy, mildly tangy, moderately bitter finish. Good English style IPA. A shout goes out to kenb for shipping me the bottle!

Sep 2, 2006 Tap at Uber Tavern.
Pours a cloudy cider-amber, with a lovely thick head. The hops are full and pungent, resin and a hint of orange; not much sweetness here but instead a nice full bitterness with a tinge of grapefruit.
Thi s is a good but not quite great IPA.
