look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

The label reads "Extra IPA," but I can't imagine anyone considering this a DIPA. This drinks like an English IPA: hoppy, but not excessively so like so many American takes. I consider pale ales to be a boring style because the balance between hops and malts seems neutral to me; this feels like a hoppier pale ale. The hops are grassy mellow instead of intense bitter, with the malt is never far behind. Many drinkers comment on the "crispness" and "cleanness" of SN brews, and Torpedo is no exception.

I enjoy IPAs, and with so many microbrews predictably chanting "more hops!" in celebration of their next IPA recipe, this is a welcome change of style.

another excellent IPA - one I purchase and savor over other great IPA's. Bold and full of flavor . Well balanced; bitter, very drinkable, very tasty hops. Easy to get- reasonably priced. Can not think of any other IPA out there that is consistently great! A 'world class' IPA from California Overall, an extremely well made beer.
