Picked this up at a great beer store,Tops Liquor, while at a conference in Phoenix. Fizzy yellow-orange pour with nice fluffy head and great lacing. Nice big citrusy nose with lots of lemon and orange with bread dough and a hint of ginger and alcohol. Lots of hop bitterness but fairly well balanced with some sweet caramel maltiness peeking through. Lots of citrus with a hint of tea but the bitter hops are the star here. A touch of resin but very drinkable. The bitterness lingers from start to finish. A real nice but not spectacular West Coast IPA.

This bottle is 6 months old so we'll see how it goes.

A: Pours hazy yellow with an orange hue. Huge, frothy, white head. This one is lively.

S: Slight citrus, grassy hops. Not all that aromatic and not nearly as hop forward as I like in an IPA.

T: Taste is malty and citrus hops. Again, hops are not as pronounced up front as I would like although they do show up in the form of a bitter finish.

M: Medium bodied and very lively. Slightly overcarbonated.

O: This one is a disappointment for me. Where are the hops in this West Coast IPA? Very average and forgettable, IMO. I definitely wanted to like this more. I'll have to try again with a fresher bottle.
