This burly West Coast IPA is the result of long hours in the hop shop. The Apprentice is back– overhauled and rebuilt with a nod to the past and an eye on the road ahead. Chrome hubs
and candy paint might turn heads, but this beast is built for speed, barreling through the finish line with potent hop power.

US Pint can from a Trader Joe's. Poured into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass (twice) at my daughters place in Laguna Hills on 5th August 2025. Golden body, slight haze; decent white crown on each pour. Piney hop bitterness strikes you initially and it doesn't calm down too much either!

Keg at Fish Shop - Encinitas. Clear gold with a white foam head. A bit flinty, somebody pithy lemon peel, grapefruit, pine needles. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Dry finish. Not bad.

On tap at Societe. Filtered orange-tan body. Zesty orange tones. Classical West Coast IPA. Doesn't quite nail it. OK.

GABF 2015. Multiple pours. Pretty clear golden yellow appearance with an off white head. Pretty spicy hoppy nose. There’s some grapefruit, passion fruit, black pepper, and dank bud. Pretty good.

Poured a clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma was light tropical fruit notes with some light citrus and some light malts. Flavor was hops, light bitter notes, touch of fruity character to it. Pretty tasty.
