India Pale Ale Hopped with 9 bold hops. In times of battle, few rules apply. Plunder is no exception. Hopped with nine treasured varieties, this IPA has a refreshing bite with aromas of citrus and pine. With a lighter body and bright hop profile, this San Diego brewed IPA leaves no question that it is a treasure worth seizing.

On tap at Twisted Taps, San Diego. A bit hazy orange with a white head. Aroma and taste of hops, citrus, light tropical fruit, some malt and caramel. The body was medium as was the bitterness. Kind of soft and easy to drink.

22oz bomber pours with a near perfect hop hazed copper body that has thin gold edges and supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up pine hops, malt sweetened grapefruit like citrus hops, malts and a bit of crystal malts. After it warmed a bit some floral hops start to open up. The taste is pretty bitter with hops where pine takes a quick strangle hold on the experience dealing sharp bitter and resiny pine sap hoppiness. Another sip, and yes this is a big ole’ bitter hoppy brew. To midway thin streams of faintly juicy grapefruit and tangelo are noticed taking this pine hoppy train ride right into the finish. Like in the nose; as it warms it picks up some floral like hops. If you’re ready for hops and hop bitterness this won’t disappoint. This works for me.

Draft 16oz pour in The Biergarden, Encinitas on 8th May 2016. Amber/orange body, off-white head. Tropical fruit aroma with citrus leanings, taste was taken over by the citrus flavoured hops with a mild maltiness that tempered the bitterness a little. Decent.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma is fruit. Med + body. Flavor is fruity, but seems to have some other hop as well. Maybe it’s complex. There is detectable supporting caramel. Finishes hoppy, fruity, bitter. Very nice.
