Overall, this is a solid and enjoyable IPA. It looks and smells on point, with a bit of pepper and char that is not a bad thing. Definitely a solid rendition of a west coast IPA.

Yellow appearance with haze bordering on wheat/hefe territory. Aroma hit the pine notes without simcoe abrasiveness.
Taste was good, pine and grapefruit, light pale malt body, not leaning heavy on crystal malt or caramel here. Probably the best priced bomber out there. You get some herbal/woody notes to it, but not so much that you think it was wood aged or anything, just the malt contribution that doesn't go caramel.
Solid 2nd tier west coast ipa.

Hazy golden amber brew with a nice pile of foam in the tumbler. Foam settles down pretty quickly and the mouthfeel is at first sudsy, then sharp. There is a persistent dark, resiny, and vegetable flavor. Aftertaste is quite bitter, with a woody and herbal taste. It's that burnt wintergreen thing.
This is malty and well made, light bodied. It's just kind of icky and gummy. Plenty of sweet malt but the aftertaste is unpleasant. Label on this batch says it's 7% ABV. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Mollie Stone's Market in the Castro.

Appearance: Arrives with the liquid amber colored and capped by an inch or so of foam; modest lacing action
Smell: Toffee malt, some citrus and a hint of bubblegum
Taste: The toffee malt underpins the citrusy elements, with a touch of bubblegum sweetness developing; modestly bitter finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: A pleasant drinker but not something that merits a quest
