A: crystal clear; deep gold in color; 1 finger ivory head that receded to a wispy cap; nice lacing;

S: very little aroma; what's there is floral;

T: dull floral from start to finish; a bit of grapefruit toward the end; mild to moderate bitterness on the finish;

M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; dry finish;

O: advertised as a West Coast IPA, but it falls short; quite disappointing;

 

From a tap and delivered in a clear pint glass it came. The color is bright and full amber. It's toward the translucent side. The off-white head is modest and short-lived. There is almost no glass lacing. Not pungent, but there's a nice blend of hops and starch. To taste, the hops come across mainly bread-like and earthy. There's very little bite, commendable considering the ABV. The taste of the alcohol bites almost as much as the hops and that isn't much. Like its aroma, this is rather mild tasting, especially for its West Coast style. It goes down wet, but cleanly and should be considered as a pleasant way to get a beer buzz quickly.

Had on tap at the brewery. Pours clear, gold in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is big wet hops and grapefruit with biscuit. Bitter, medium body and carbonation. Decent west coast style ipa. Not totally my thing but Decent.
