Smell is hoppy color is cooper and tan.

Pure whit head in beer.

First taste is sweet with hops following up at the end

I couldn't drink more then one simply with the 9% rating. Seriously my ears are burning.

Tastiest with some garlic to take away the mouthful if hops. If you like hops this is it with a smooth texture.

Well done

Consumed at the Bistro's 10th Annual Double IPA Festival. Apricot pour with a frothy white head. Slight hop aroma but there is an almost medicine-like smell which is not good. Taste is very harsh. If rubbing alcohol had a taste, this might be it. Slight burning sensation on the sip as well. Drinkability is down right tough. Something is just not right with this batch.

Overall I really like the Pacific Coast beers, but this particular one was not on par with the others. Wasn't digging it.
