Clear golden with a medium off white head. Hoppy nose with notes of grapefruits and lemon. Flavour was dry and hoppy with notes of grapefruit, pine and toasted malt. Finished dry and bitter. Not bad. Fine drinkability. More like a pale ale than an IPA though.

tap from the Boulder brewpub - Pours lightly hazy copper with a nicely lacing head. There’s a very good grapefruit accented hop aroma. The flavor has more of those good, crisp citrus hops and a solid malt balance. It’s medium bodied and overall an enjoyable IPA, definitely the best of the sampler I had.

On draught at the Palmdale location. This beer pours a mostly clear orange-amber color with a medium thin and foamy light beige head that recedes slowly. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Piney hops and a touch of malt in the nose. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with citrus and hops flavors underscored by pine and malt. The finish is somewhat bitter hops, albeit on the astringent and not flavorful side. Lingering hoppiness in the aftertaste. Overall a decent effort from this chain brewpub.
