IPA

Pour is a clear orange with a small white head. Aroma is a pure pine hop. A little caramel malt follows. Flavor is an old school cascade type of hop. Some grapefruit and pine with a slight not so sweet caramel malt. This beer was bottled less than a month ago but I could see this turning into a malt bomb real fast. Decent and fresh as possible is a must.

Draught @ Bottlecraft Little Italy, San Diego. Pours golden with an offwhite head, light lacings. Aroma of malt, grass, light spicy hops, fruity hops, citrus. Flavor i sweet, light bitter, malt, grassy, fruit, citrus, light piney. Medium body, average carbonation, light bitter finish. 270718

Bottle. Pours orange-gold with a slight haze. White head. Aroma and flavors of citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit, pine, caramel notes. Nice.

On tap at a bar, Portland, Oregon. Pours a slightly hazy amber colour with a small off-white head. Fruity aroma and with something that is close to New-Zealand hops, tropical fruits, orange peel and grass. Fruity aroma of grass, orange peel, grapefruit, pine and hop pellets. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a medium to heavy bitterness. A hoppy and fruity IPA.

Taster at brewery. Medium golden. Small foamy head subsides to ring. Aroma is light citrus and pine. Taste follows with more of the aroma, a bit of hop sting at the finish.

Bottled, less than one month old. Gold color with a little haze. This is an old school ipa. Not overly bitter, fresh bread and a hop flavor with somw citrus. Well made.
