Whether you have a long mission behind you or a full afternoon ahead, this session IPA will help keep things real. More relaxed than an IPA, but with all the hop aroma and flavor. Down to Earth is our Tribute to unsung heroes and unplanned adventures.

Down to Earth is the natural evolution (pun intended) of Bitter American, our original session ale. We thought it would be fitting to bring our space chimp home and let him chill. Down to Earth is available year-round in six-pack cans and on draft and pairs nicely with a variety of things, including lunch.

Poured from a 12 oz can with a best by date of 11/09/2016. Aroma is very hop forward with some light cracker malt notes and a hints of caramel in the background. Hop profile is mostly classic "C" hops with lots of grapefruit, citrus and pine. There are some hints of tropical fruit too though. Pours a fairly clear, golden orange with a medium large, thick, white head that recedes to a thin film, thick er on the edges, that lingers for quite some time. Medium light lacing and no legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet and malt forward with cracker, biscuit, toasted bread and caramel. Medium high bitterness and a dry finish. Medium hop notes with grapefruit, pine and resin being most prevalent. Hints of other citrus as well. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright Session IPA, but on the malty side for my preferences. I also find the hop character to be a bit boring and definitely lacking in the flavor. Mouthfeel is very good though, especially for the sessionability of this beer.

Pretty decent session IPA. ice hop nose, full of citrus, grapefruit rind and orange juice. Flavor similar, big floral bite. Malts on the thin side, common in these low grav IPAs.

Draft in the Priority Public House, Encinitas on 6th May 2016. Deep golden body, small white head. Tropical fruit nose with an orange lead. Citrus fruits in the flavour give the beer a crisp refreshing feel. Easy to drink, thirst quenching beer from a brewery a like.

Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured a dark honey color with a medium sized fluffy orange-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweetish with pine, lemon, pepper and cactus. The flavor was bitterish and tangy with cactus, lemon and pepper notes. Medium length finish. Light to medium body. Ok.
