Bursted - Vic Secret
El Segundo Brewing Company

 

 

From a 22oz bottle. Pours a cloudy pale orange with a finger of fluffy head. Slightly sour grapefruit smell. Smooth feel. Grapefruit and pine flavors, not as bitter as many IPAs. Very good.

 

Clear yellow brew, even a greenish hint. Lots of white, long-lasting foam in the Duvel tulip. Aroma of lime and flowers. Some piney hop taste. Clean and just slightly fruity. Quite moderate bitter aftertaste. There's a woody note as well.

I guess you really ought to taste about three of these at the same time. The three I've tried are all better than average IPAs. Makes me think the skill of the brewer in the judicious use of hops is about as important as the kind of hops they use. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Barons Market in San Diego.
