Stay Gold
Excel Brewing Company

From a tall can, this beer is a lightly hazy gold color. It has a short-lived white head and an intense smell. Lots of things are going on in that scent….perfumy, grapefruit peel, wood resin, tropical flowers, and some pale malt in the background. Incredible. The taste is balanced, with a solid hop bitterness and a boozy foundation. Full in body and satisfying. I enjoyed this one.

Clear copper/gold with a respectable creamy head and some nice lacing.
The aroma is grapefruit and pine with light caramel malt.
The taste is bready caramel malt, grapefruit and lime. The finish is dry with lingering grapefruit zest and pine resin.
The body is light/medium, good carbonation level, fairly smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether, this is pretty much a standard west coast style IPA, but very well done, tasty and refreshing.
