Poured from a bomber bottle into my Stone goblet...

A - Pours a semi-hazy golden orange color with a finger of light tan color head. Very nice, tight lacing appears as I sip.

S - Has some nice tropical & citrus fruit aromas. Pineapple, mango and some citrusy lemon notes as well. Nothing overwhelming, just complimentary to the nice caramel grain bill.

T/M - The front of the taste yeilds the slightly sweet caramel malts at first, then really opens up to the mango and pineapple hop profile. No lingering hop resin in the aftertaste tho. Medium mouthfeel and a rather pleasant under carbonated mouthfeel.

O - I was very plesantly surprised by this beer. Really good flavor profile, very easy to drink and reasonably priced. I would more than likely buy this beer again.

On tap at 38 Degrees in Alhambra, CA.

Pours a hazy honey orange with a foamy off-white head that settles to a film on top of the beer. A foamy curtain of lace coats the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, citrus fruit, citrus zest, and slight tropical fruit aromas. Taste is much the same with citrus zest flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a low level of carbonation with an almost flat mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer but the mouthfeel is off on this one.

A - Pours a hazy golden-orange with a finger of frothy white head atop. The head fades down fairly slowly leaving behind some good lace.

S - Aroma is a mix of citrus, tropical, grassy, and lightly spicy hops with some good pineapple, grapefruit, and lemon. There is also some sweet caramel malts as well.

T - Starts off with a mix of grapefruit, lemon, and pineapple hop flavor with some bitterness and some sweet caramel malt in the background. Through the middle, some lemon and spicy hops come through with some grassy flavor and more bitterness and a bit more sweet caramel malts. The finish is a mix of sweet caramel malt, citrus and tropical hop, some light spicy hop character, and some bitterness.

M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a dry and bitter finish.

D - Very drinkable. Really nice hoppy American IPA. The hop profile is rally nice and complex and has just the right level of bitterness as well.

22oz bomber. Batch 2. Released 02/09/12. Served in a Pinot Noir wine glass.

Pours a very hazy dark gold with a small off-white head. Bubbles are big and loose. Small amounts of lacing left behind in glass.

Aroma is very unique for an IPA. Pineapple is dominant with Tangelo citrus almost as strong. Mild funky Belgian yeast in the background. Some peppery spice. Complex and intriguing.

Flavor is medium-dry with all the citrus notes from the nose present, but subtle. A very small touch of sweetness in the middle and things dry up again for a mild bitter finish. Tastes a lot more like a Belgian IPA than the aroma let on.

A medium body with medium-light carbonation. Still, there is some crispness and an overall nice feel.

Definitely *not* a west-coast IPA, but that is not a criticism. A unique spin on the style and quite enjoyable.

Oooh, this is a nice one. Pours a golden straw color with a generous layer of foam. There’s a hoppy, dank aroma to it. “Danke,” perhaps, as a thank you to the brewers. Flavor reminds me of green onions and garlic shoots. It’s crisp and grassy, in a vegetal way, which is different for me and unexpectedly enjoyable.

Got this one from Bbothen....

Pours an effervescent honey color with 3 fingers of cream colored head. Head settles in nicely a depth of one thumb, great head retention & lacing

S: Piney & citrus notes

T: Follows the nose, grapefruit & some pineapple also showing up front, some sweet grainy bread as well. Grapefruit & pineyness battle for supremacy as this warms, some pineapple, & faint apricot lurk in the background, along some husky grainy notes just a bit of honey malt sweetness. Finishes with pineyness, woody hops, & grapefruit & a bit of dryness

MF: Medium bodied, firm carbonation, pretty nice balance

Very drinkable IPA with no major drawbacks, worthy up purchase consideration

Pours out a hazy orange with a large off-white head. The head disappears pretty quick leaving splotches of lace behind.

Dry pear and grapefruit dominate the smell, slight mineral essence at the finish.

A nice malt start is quickly assaulted by citrus hops, earth and a mineral bitterness. Simple and tasty. A little thin going down, but still good.

I'd grab another for sure. A very interesting IPA.

Pours a bright and somewhat hazy gold color with a pretty nice off white head, nice lacing too.

Aromas are of grapefruits, light spices, mineral water, and ground up aspirin.

Taste is bitter, with some lemon, grassy, kind of tart, and pretty dry up front. Light creaminess, some crystal malt sweetness, and some graininess, and a finish of tart and bitter grapefruit.

Light mouthfeel, crisp carbonation, about right for the style.

Overall this is a pretty good IPA. Certainly bitter, maybe a bit unbalanced too. I like it, but I've had quite a few that are better and cost a buck or so cheaper.

22oz bottle.

Pours clear gold with a trace of chill haze and a thin, white head. A partial skim coat remains for the duration as well as some smeared lacing.

Aromatics lead off with tropical fruit and dank hops. Peaches, tangerine, mango, apricot, and kind-bud. Luscious but not leaping from the glass.

Medium bodied with a crisp, drying mouthfeel.

Exotic fruit and a firm bitterness start the palate. Ripe and jammy with mango, apricots, peach fuzz, and pink grapefruit. Light malt and a drying bitterness follow through.

Finishes with tropical citrus and a lingering bitterness.

Tasty brew and pretty fresh, the blend of tropicals and lack of pine and excessive grapefruit keeps the beer interesting.

Thanks to flexabull for this one.

A - Golden amber with a thin white head leaving a few streaks of lace down the side of the glass.

S - Dank hops, lemon zest, pine, grapefruit with some caramel hiding in the background.

T - Quite bitter, somewhat like chewing on orange and grapefruit rinds. Light pale malt in the background with more resiny, grassy hops and a lingering pine note.

M - Light and watery like with some bitter hop astringency.

D - Enjoyable. Wonderful aroma but the hop bitterness catches up with you on this one.

On-tap at Toronado

Pours a fairly clear golden orange color with a finger of white head. Initially a solid aroma of grapefruit and floral hops. Becomes sort of grassy at it sits, though. Similar story on the palate. Up front, a good grapefruit, pine, and floral hop bite, but dies down to just sort of grassy and a citric acidity. Medium body and carbonation.
