Can at Titans. An orange brown with a beige head. The body is a bit on the light side but it works. The taste is malty Graham and light fruits. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at Titans, the 5.1% ABV makes it almost sessionable. A lovely glowing copper presents a classic well made West Coast IPA.

Tap at Titans. Clear, oily gold with orange tints. A bit heavy on the malt, crackers and lemon. Soft malt flavor, citrus hop, cat piss. Ok.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a large white head. Aroma is pretty decent pine hops with some orange peel. Flavor is same as the aroma. Lots of pine hops and a bit of sweet caramel malt. Not an overly sweet malt but just enough to notice it. A spot on example of a west coast IPA with plenty of piney hop goodness. Pretty flavorful for a 5.1% IPA.
