Aroma Coma is our summer seasonal India Pale Ale. We’ve brewed it annually since 2009 for a local IPA festival, where it was selected one of the top three beers in the competition. The malt bill consists of almost all 2-row barley malt, with a touch of Caramalt for body - leaving you with a delightfully hop-forward experience. Generous amounts of Cascade, Chinook, CTZ & Citra hops create the citrus, pine, and floral notes. Breathe ’Em in and enjoy!

Label says it's an 8% and "2x". Bottle. Amber with an off white head. Aroma of marijuana, boiled oranges, bread. Medium bodied. Sweet with peach, dope and herbal notes yielding to progressively toppier citrus and some pine. Gradual finish is fairly bitter. Unspectacular but refined and tasty.

Bottle from Whole Foods SoMa, San Francisco
Hazy golden color with compact head. Nice hop aroma, pungent, a bit resiny. The mouthfeel is dry and lean, there is no notable malt flavor; strong bitterness, with some resins, but not much hop quality, hence the final is rather boring.
The hops are not bright enough, the malt doesn’t contribute enough; ok beer.

Pours orange with a smooth head. Aroma of juicy tropical fruits, fresh hops, grass, pine, resin and citrus. Taste is sweetish, hoppy and caramely with loads of fruits, grass, pine and resin. Finish is sweetish, malty and hoppy with some fruits, caramel and resin. Tasty.

Bottle [from Secret Santa 2015] shared with Joes. Clear golden color, medium to full sized off-white head that lasts for quite a while and leaves good lacing. Aroma is moderately malty, good hops, lightly grassy, some pine. Taste malts, hops, quite grassy, firm pine and resin, firm to heavy bitter. A bit sticky texture. Medium body and carbonation.

Another great offering from drakes from bomber to pint glass. Massive citrus that is well balanced by the pine.

Enjoyed at gabf 2014. It pours with a clear gold body that supports a near white head. The aroma offers up tangerine and clementine citrus hops that are very inviting and bordered thinly by a bit of sweet malts and faint spicy dankness. The taste comes across spicy and dank with onions as well as wedges of tangerine and clementine citrus hoppy goodness. This offers up easy drinking deliciousness with well balanced flavor and bitter hops. I could stand here in line and drink this until they kick me out.
