Tap at Ballast Point Little Italy, San Diego, CA, USA. Pours dark blonde, towards amber, with fine white foam, limited. Aroma is dominated by watermelon, really unidimensional. Body is on the thick side, with average carbonation. Taste is rather bitter, but with watermelon dominating everything. Final is fairly bitter. Overall, awful!

Can picked up from Beer Republic webshop Breda Netherlands and consumed at home Saturday 11th November 2023 listening to Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show and still making the Beef Rogan Josh it's taking a little longer than expected, I made a Vanilla Ice Cream Loz, we're also making Onion Bhajis for the curry and Baked Apples to go with my Ice Cream. Pours deep gold with a large white head. Loz doesn't like this at all, she couldn't get on with it. This is clearly a West Coast IPA but the Grapefruit flavouring which I don't mind but Loz struggled with is a very divisive thing. I find this a touch sweet, a little bit of a perfume edge, dry finish, a slight syrupy touch, good beer.

Clear dark golden colour, moderate sized creamy off-white head; aroma of piney, grapefruity, grassy, some orange peel oils and slight grape peel; taste is hop dominant with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma and some slight medicinal notes; good hoppy IPA

(Bottle, vintage 2018) Reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with dark bread, raisins, figs, plums, oak wood, whiskey and chocolate. Malty taste with notes of caramel, chocolate, dark bread, raisins, prunes, oak wood, whiskey and a mild spicy bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced, with a good oak character. Nice one.

Bottled. Golden colour with a big white head. Aroma is pine, resin, some caramel and mild toffee tones. Flavour is caramel, some biscuity tones with citrus, mild grapefruit as well as some slight pineapple tones. Refreshing ,and a nice bitter bite in the finish.
