doubleo (825), San Diego, California, USA Jul 3, 2008 On-tap at the brewpub. Pours cloudy dark orange, almost brown with a very thin white head, specks of lace. Smells subdued earthy hoppy. Tastes bitter and hoppy, very damn bitter in fact. Some sweet malt flavor toward the finish and bitter through the finish as well. Bit of dishtowel flavor as well. Medium body, good carbonation. WeeHeavySD (1849), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Feb 17, 2008 1/5/08, 11th and Final Brewery of 07/08 Roadtrip with Bikesandbeer and his girlfriend Jesse. Drove out the way to get to this brewery, which was worth it, really nice people and good food and good brew. Pours orange with an off white ring head. Nose is sweet and hoppy. Taste is sweet and hoppy and nice really lingers in the mouth. aspidites (1268), manteca, California, USA Apr 15, 2007 Big nose of hops, hops and MORE hops. Some nice spice and malt notes also come forward. Big mouthfeel that needs to be scraped off of the tongue. Clean and dry finish. jazz88 (2206), San Francisco, California, USA Dec 23, 2006 Tap @ The Bistro’s IPA Festival 8/6/05. A cloudy amber color with a nice mint, anise and floral flavor that was quite unexpected. Almost medicinal in aroma. Smooth but not dry, malty but also fairly light.
