Type: Draft
Glass: Half-pint glass
From: Hollister Brewing Company in Goleta, Calif.
Price: $3.25
Purchased: July 5, 2013
Consumed: July 5, 2013
Misc.: N/A
Poured a honey amber clear color with 1-2 fingers of off-white head when I got it. That head wore off quickly. Pretty good lacing along the sides. Average retention on the way down.
Smelled tons of hops. Got lime, pine, citrus, caramel and floral, all in a clean, light whiff.
Initial taste reminded me of a Manzanita IPA. Caramel, lime, pine, floral hops and citrus hops.
Medium body. Creamy-to-oily texture. Average carbonation. Bitter finish.
This beer wasn’t as quite as good as I remember it from December, but I was sick then. But overall it is an OK IPA.

A: Pours a clear golden with 1/2 inch white head leaving stringy lace.
N: Tons of tropical and citrus notes (pineapple, tangerine, grapefruit). Nearly perfect.
T: Citrusy fruits, some malty grains, piney evergreen needles.
M: Medium body and carbonation. Slightly bitter and semi-dry finish.
O: Very good balance. Slightly lower ABV than the Hippie Kicker which was more malt forward. If you are looking for a solid IPA, this is it.
