Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #54 (July 2011):

A hazy, dirty peach-colored beer with a thin creamy lace. Stone fruits in the nose with a deep floral hop aroma and mild cellar mustiness. Crisp carbonation, then creamy. Immediate white pepper, with fleshy stone fruits in the flavor and a bready malt character beneath. Citric hop snap rides in off the carbonation and melds into the malts, impart- ing soft floral and herbal notes, followed by ripe melon suggestions with some mild esters, thanks to the Simcoe hops. Dries up nicely with a lingering splash of melon and bready sweetness. Touted as balancing sweetness and bitterness, it lives up to this most awesomely. This is one deliciously sexy beer from a can.

Pint @ Sunset Grill.

A- Pale golden and hazy, good lacing and excellent retention.

S- Spicy twang of hops and yeast, clean but semi-pungent.

T- Rounded bitterness with more has enough hop flavor to go around. Sweet peachy maltiness mixes with a clean herbal bitterness, faint phenols brush against a wavering fruity ester in the finish.

M- Extremely smooth with a moderate body.

D&N- Reminds me a little of De Ranke XX Bitter but better, easy to quaff and the alcohol is a tad hidden IMO ... which is not a bad thing. By far one of my favorite beers ... I'd love to see this more often.

Serving type: on-tap

Kind of all over the place (like the last time I was in a Tijuana strip club - circa 2000). I mean, I like it, but I know that something isn't right. Beautiful appearance (like Lolita), and the taste is ok, but a liltle metallic (like Lolita).

Overall, I'd do it again, but it wouldn't be my first option.

The Action is way underrated here! This brew has zero aftertaste. Just easy drinking with this masterpiece. For the style this stuff really is the top of the food chain. It has some hop flavor with excellent mouthfeel. Cool, crisp carbonation make this a great beer for almost any function. The aroma could be more defined but this is quality in a can.

Bottom Line: You could drink two of these guys in 18 minutes easily! Grab some!

This beer is awesome. You can drink this all year during any season. I was actually very surprised at how smooth it was. It pours a cloudy orange with a sweet citrus smell. It's a light IPA with a good mouthfeel and superb taste. There is no bitter after taste at all. A very smooth beer that ranks at the top of my list. Highly recommended!!!
