Draft, City Beer Store. Aroma is mildly dank. Light cannibus, herbal, traces of cat urine. Grapefruit, dank weeds, old tropical fruit. Mouth feel is better on this one. Lingering herbalness with pine and more weed. Nicely dank.

This beer is a pale yellow gold color, moderately to mildly hazy and has a somewhat fizzy white head. Some lacing, good retention, I guess - it’s a bar pour. Aroma has a bright, sweet hop flavor. Fairly juicy. Sweet lemon, mild pineapple, mango, big tangerine, raspberry. Little to no malt character. Taste has similar bright hops on a dry malt background. A touch sharp from the dryness. Bitterness is medium to moderate. Very clean in the finish. Easy to drink. Carbonation is on the high side. A little bit fizzy. Excellent hoppy beer. Very West Coast.

On tap at City Beer, February 2014. Hazy golden with a medium white head. Fresh with citrus, resin and tropical fruit. Also some light notes of hay and malt. Not bad at all.

Golden with a white head - very good citrus hoppy aroma - A very good malt to support a very good hop profile with a delicate citrus taste and a very Nice bitter profile with the malt - A very good liongering hop finish - this was simply a very good ipa

Tap. Pours clear golden, small white head, nice lacing. Light aroma of citrus, pine, vegetal. Flavor follows, light sweet and light bitter, increasing and a bit harsh on the finish. Light body.

On tap at Societe, pours a hazy pale golden with a small white head. Nose is very fresh and crisp, with hay, fresh meadows and piney hops. Flavour is similar, with loads of fresh piney and floral hops, slight earthy notes, and light biscuit malts. Extremely fresh and highly drinkable. Awesome IPA.

Sample from growler. The beer pours a clear pale amber-gold color with a medium foamy white head that dissipates steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and toasted malt. Medium body with a moderately bitter hops character that has grapefruit and onion notes. Some sweet malt in the background. The finish is hoppy with a citrus aftertaste. Solid IPA all around.

GABF 2012, October 12, Friday. An excellent ipa, I went back for several samples. Huge hop aroma and tons of grapefruit and citrus flavor. One of the best IPAs I have had, ever.

Poured up on tap at GABF 2012 with a pure gold slightly opaque body (can you say, “drool inducing hop haze my friend?”) supporting a near white head, a dirty white head let’s say. The aroma is big and citrusy and tropical . . . yummy! Around the edges of those terrific fruity notes I get a bit of floral hops and just a touch of sweet maltiness. Man, the taste is rich and delicious with citrus like hops consisting of a little bit of grapefruit and tangelo mixing with a mango tropical note. Like in the nose around those rich fruity notes I get a thin ring of floral hops being supported up by a wafer thin yet firm sweet malty body. Just a terrific IPA as it is rich and bold yet smooth enough to be dangerously sessionable. Wow!
