Another one from the Single, Fresh, Wet & Wild Hop Harvest festival in Chico, CA on the Sierra Nevada grounds.
Pours a light amber color. 1/3" white head. Aroma of pine, lesser pineapple and cats.
Taste is like a bit stronger Dale's Pale Ale. A little more alcohol and a little more bitterness. Centennial, Simcoe and Galaxy really push in that order, plenty of bittering hops going on. Does have a light dryness to it that melds well overall with the beer. Its not necessarily huge on hop flavors, moreso hop bitterness with a mild green pine kick to it. Galaxy hops are largely lost on this one. Any citrus notes are relegated to the grapefruit rind level of impact. I like the Centennial crisp kick to it, seems to be the one that has the most impact both in terms of flavor and bitterness. Would be interested to see what this was like with only one bittering hop (i.e. get rid of Centennial or Simcoe) to see if the Galaxy tropical fruit notes came out more.

A-pours a clear golden/yellow color with a small but staying white head streaks of lacing
S-light floral hops notes of pine and malt
T-rather weak light citrus hops with bread like malts
M-medium carb with a dry semi-sweet feel watery for an IPA
O-wanted more out of this more WC hops with more meat and flavor this was rather bland was like a session IPA or a PA low on flavor
