Description
We started out in 1996 as a small group of San Diego home brewers who simply wanted to make a better beer. In our exploration, we became obsessed with ingredients—tinkering, testing and tasting to find the perfect balance of taste and aroma. That adventurous spirit leads to award-winning beers in classic and unique styles while challenging our own tastes and expanding yours.
We’re proud of our San Diego hometown, our employees, our beers, and our fans. We think of our employees as family, and you, our fans, as extended family. You’ll see us use #BPPROUD as a badge of pride and a way to further connect with our beer loving community.

Clear orange coloured body with a thinnish white head. Aroma of curacao, sweetness and an odd meaty scent. Medium-bodied; Hoppy taste-good malt but less hops than expected. Aftertaste clean and fresh-no reminder of the hops at all! Thanks to jeffc666 care of MilkManDan for this beer! I sampled this 65 cL bottle at the November RB party at Founder’s in Alexandria, Virginia on 20-November-2004.

Draft. Somewhat darker-amber colored beer. Big grapefruit aroma. Thick, rich malt backing. Fruity/resiney flavor that also has some lighter fruit to go with the typical grapefruit/citrus (possibly peach/apricot). Nice all-round beer.

Bottled, thanks marbles! Dark amber, small head. Grapefruit aroma. Dry with soft mouthfee. All dominated by grapefruity hops, butwith enough malt to back it up. There are more hop aroma than bitterness, but still there is a real kick of late bitterness. Really good stuff!

Bright reddish amber; earthy hops overlap earthy malts. I've had this beer before, I swear...

Amber; a chewier, maltier IPA for this town...I liked it, but compared with these guys I must be getting jaded on the whole IPA thing.
