Formerly Hop Odyssey: 30th Street Pale Ale
Hop-forward and San Diego inspired, this is our brewers’ homage to their local craft beer corridor. Uniquely floral and fruity notes from Warrior, Cascade and El Dorado hops mingle with a hint of crystal malt to build flavors of melon and a lingering grassy bitterness. Well-bittered and dry-hopped, 30th Street is a Pale Ale bold enough to suit the palates of hop heads in the land of sunshine and IPA.

"Best by 3/8/16"; drank 1/11/16 @ the Yarchives.
Semi-opaque orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a nice white head; strong lace.
Corn & lemon notes in the nose.
Medium thin mouthfeel.
Sugar & corn flavors up front; lemon bite on the finish.
Cloying & dry; I've had my last.

Clean, crisp ale. Nice bitters on front that linger- a real good beer for a hot day 5/31/17

12 oz bottle into an IPA glass.
Pours hazy amber with 1.5 finger head. Substantial lacing.
Smell is grassy and floral.
Taste matches the aroma. Mostly grassy hop bite at the start and finish. A bit of cracker malt taste in the middle.
Highly carbonated with a sharp mouthfeel.
A pleasant beer for hopheads such as myself. However, I prefer the Soul Style and Tangerine Soul Style IPA's from Green Flash over this one. Would definitely drink again but not my favorite.

As an IPA guy by default, I like to try different pale ales as well. This beer pours golden amber. It smells floral and hoppy (which I love), though not so much so that I feel as though I'm sniffing a hops container. There is some carbonation visible. The taste starts off and follows through with some sharp bite, and the finish is one of carbonated hoppiness which might benefit from less carbonation.

Fairly solid beer all the way around. Nice sudsy appearance. Bitter, resiny hops balanced with some sweet malt. Long bitter finish. Drinkable.
