Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to becher glass.
Appearance: amber/copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: big piney hop tones with an ample amount of citrusy hops, caramel/toffee malts sliding in underneath for a nice blend
Flavor: pretty much mirrors the aromas in a bittersweet manner; finishes very piney and citrusy
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, some smoothness and some hop aggression but not offensive
Overall: nicely done West coast styled IPA I would have again.

Bottle at home. Aroma of citrus, pine, malt, tropical fruits, herbal notes, earthy hops. Flavour is moderate sweet and medium bitter. Well-balanced and earthy, on the malty side with fruity notes. Though I like my IPA more of a fruit bomb, this one is surprising and enjoyable.

16 oz can picked up in Ontario. Solid IPA with classic grassy hops and subtle grapefruit. Moderate hop bitter, cool finish. Long lingering palate with balance. Very good brew, and a solid ten dollar 4 pack.

On tap at Waterfront in San Diego. Honey gold pour. Creamy beige head. Biscuit malt and spicy hops in the nose. Flavor is soft bready malt and peppery hops. Dank citrus leans toward lime pith and grapefruit. Dryish bitter finish.
