Named after California’s Highway 78, this India Pale Ale was brewed in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the city of Vista. With plenty of Galaxy, Falconer’s Flight, Southern Cross and just a tad bit of Nelson hops, our latest IPA is truly sessionable. Aroma’s include grapefruit, passionfruit, and citrus.

22oz bomber pours with a hop hazed deep gold body that supports an off white head that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up mango, smooth malt sweetened tangelo and clementine. The taste starts with soft malt sweetened mango and clementine and a bit of tangerine. It rolls slowly into more and more citrus hop bitterness that reaches only a modest level. Pretty nice but this bottle might be a bit on the old side.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours translucent gold with a few white bubbles. Aroma certainly starts floral. Med body or better. Flavor is quite tropical fruit. Mild malt backbone. With effort citrus and maybe grapefruit rind can be found. Maybe. There is a burn that seems to be grapefruit rind. Could be hop burn. There’s a lot here, and it works well together. Just cause it’s hard to dissect doesn’t mean it’s muddled. Very tasty drink.
