Betty is an American IPA boasting a blend of Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe and Centennial hops. We spent 8 months perfecting this hop blend, and we love the huge range of juicy aromas and flavors we were able to hit: tropical fruit, citrus zest, berries, stone fruit and pine are all packed in, soaring over a base of pleasantly bitter 68 IBUs and drinkable 6.5% ABV. She pours out a beautiful yellow-orange She is the first addition to our Year-Round lineup of beers since our Double IPA debuted in 2010.
The beer’s name pays homage to the pin-up art that adorned the planes of American B17 pilots during World War 2. These pilots would commission these fantastic works of art on the noses of their planes, and it serve as a daily reminder of the home they were fighting to protect.

On draught at Simmzy’s. Pours a clear golden color with a medium bright white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of citrusy hops, pine and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a grapefruit and hops aftertaste. May have suffered a bit from trying right after Pliny but still a solid IPA.

Aroma is predominantly pine and resin. Slight citrus and lemon. Orange and clear with a full white head that retains well. Juicy and resiny pine flavor with a moderate amount of bitterness. Doughy malt adds significant support to the hops.

12oz bottle pours with a clear gold body that supports a tall light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up yummy citrus and mango fruity goodness that’s buoyed up by a nice thin malt base. The taste delivers a similar degree of tasty hop goodness with grapefruit and tangerine and mango mixing with a firm resiny pine hop bitterness. Yes, this is juicy and bitter and resiny with hoppiness and supported by a pleasing thin malty backbone. Solid IPA.

12 oz bottle, enjoyed shortly after release. Yellow to orange color, cloudy. Off white, rocky/uneven head. Aroma’s of resin, pine and citrus. Retronasal there’s resin, pine, some citrussy acidity and light skunk. Flavor is moderate bitter with hints of fruity/citrussy sourness. Medium bodied. Finishes slightly dry, somewhat maltyt and rather bitter. Nice and refreshing on a hot California day.

Keg at Commons Ale House, Santa Monica, 16/04/14 - a whole 12 oz of this bastard before I clocked tasting flights were available @wasted rates !!! Lightly hazed golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is bitter hops, pine, mandarin, toasted malt, grapefruit, grassy. Taste comprises grapefruit, orange pith, toasted malt, light pine. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, hop bitterness in the close. Solid enough IPA, could have picked worse for such a HUUGE pour!
