Local IPA

Crisp golden coloured body with a very thin, just off-white head and a ton of bubbles that rise from the bottom. Aroma of crisp grass, citrus, a lot of resin and pine and a soft, but noticeable alcohol pungency. Medium-bodied;  Strong and rich malt backbone that shows the pine and grass front and centre with a lot of alpha acids and bitterness at the end with a ton of citrus that really make this feel like a West Coast IPA throughout. Aftertaste Is deep and very bittering with a lot of citrus, pine, resin and especially floral notes which dominate. Aftertaste shows some grassy and especially bitter hop characteristics throughout this one with a lot of bitterness, alpha acids and a good citrus twang. Overall, a nice and decidedly West Coast IPA that shows nice and robust without being cloying. Great to have alongside an amazing Hodad's burger and of course, the ambiance. I sampled this sixteen ounce pint on draught at the Downtown location in San Diego, California on 31-January-2020 for US$7,00.
