32oz crowler thanks to Elise. Pretty legit IPA. Malty and thick, this is no dextrose one-dimensional ride the fresh hops IPA. Thick caramel amber-brown body. Foamy, steady, glass-rimming head. Luscious malt depth. Juicy hop tones. Deeper than most IPAs malt wise, almost has an amber malt feel. Classic, solid US IPA.

Sampled from the tap at the Canteen. Pours a clear amber with a creamy tan head that lasts throught the beer and laces. Aroma has lots of grass with a hint of resin and a bread backbone. Flavor has has more of a bitter citrus and grass combination backed by sweet grains.

Draught, Santa Fe location. Amber with a slight haze and thin head. Big, assertive hop aroma - woody with grapefruity accents. Pithy bitterness with nice and very subtle brown sugar sweetness. Rich, earthy and again slightly grapefruity in character. Very good, balanced, easy-drinking IPA.

Draft. Hazy orange body with a short, off-white head. Aroma of grain, grapefruit, pine with notes of grass and caramel. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, slightly syrupy texture and lively carbonation. Taste of grain and resin. In fact, too grainy and rough around the edges.

Cask at GBBF 2011. A golden/orange coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, malty, fruity aroma. Tastes hoppy, malty, quite sweet, tropical fruit and citrus fruit. Really easy to drink and damned tasty too.
