The name says it all. Named after a local mountain bike trail, this India Pale Ale balances just enough malt with an abundance of Simcoe and Amarillo hops. We dry hop it so there is plenty of pine, earth and floral aromas; kinda like hiking the Just Outstanding trail. If you like your IPAs hoppy and clean, you'll find this one Just Outstanding!

Can, 0.473l.Aroma of mango, melon, peach, pine and flowers. Pours clear golden color with medium sized soapy off-white head, great lacing and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts juicy overripe tropical fruity and citrusy, following is bready, herbal and medicinal, while finish is heavy bitter. Medium to full body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Name says it all…

Pale golden colour with lasting head. Earthy and piney. Lots of caramel. Bittersweet. Lots of biscuity malty backnotes.

Can from Beer Republic. It pours orangey - amber with sturdy white head. The aroma is sappy, pine, orange marmalade sandwiches, tangerine, peachy, gummy bears and tinned fruit cocktail. The taste is drying, firmly bitter, snappy, plenty of piney vibes, damp west coast greenness, weedy, pithy, zesty, orange marmalade sandwiches, grapefruit, waxy citrus peel, peppery spice touch of toffee and light alcohol with a drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Nice West coast vibes, but this isn't the freshest example unfortunately.

16 oz can picked up at the local bottle shop in Ontario, CA. Tasty west coast IPA, bold piney and floral hop aromas, with a crisp front, and medium bodied balanced mid palate. Classic hops used very nicely. Flavorful hoppy linger. Would love having this IPA om the gas station shelf back home. Really enjoy this one.

Old school west coast IPA with slightly old hops. Lingering bitter finish. Don't know the canned on date.

US pint, on-tap in Heroes & Legends, a sports bar in Lake Forest, California; 27th December 2021. Hazy orange/gold body, white topping. Dank, piney hops ply with a citrussy undertone in this hoppy little number, my first beer of a mini evening session while my son-in-law went to his Gym. Liked it.
