Quite smooth with an excellent floral finish. Breathing in the aroma after sipping is quite fascinating. The product was served as a draft with a slightly murky look and a semi-stable head.

I had this one on tap at a Los Angeles Chargers game. I was thinking about checking out their taproom before the game but never made it, so I was glad to still get to try some beer from them and it did not disappoint.

Strong floral hop aroma, you know it's an IPA even before you take a sip. Taste is a bit generic for an IPA, especially coming from a state dominated by the style.

1/25/16 (draft, Legends Sports Bar, Long Beach) Fruity esters are the first to hit the nose, hops are pretty balanced after first couple sips, really no harsh criticism here, solid offering (3.8)

Pale body with a tinge of gold, light haze and a light frothy head. Aroma is mainly citrus and tropical fruit, a hint of pine. Nice level of bitterness in the body, some sweet malt up front with a crisp finish. Nice IPA!
