UPDATED: JUL 17, 2021 Medium gold pour, thin head. Nose is grapefruit and pine. Middle shows carmel, grapefruit pith, oily pine resin, medium kilned malt, and an earthy dankness on the tongue. Finish is citrus and resin bitterness with some length. Well crafted beer.

UPDATED: JUN 8, 2020 12 ounce can. Labeled as Best Coast IPA. Honey gold pour. Large pillowy white head. Faint citrus hop nose hints at orange peel. Big bitter hop flavor upfront. Light caramel malt notes. Resiny pine finish is bitter and dry.

UPDATED: FEB 26, 2020 Cask at Toronado, San Francisco, CA on 22/05/2008. I tried this on cask and keg in the same day. Rather nice in cask, actually and I think was fresh on that day. Zingy citrus and pine needle notes in the aroma and a slightly more gentle bitterness.

UPDATED: OCT 23, 2019 Fat @ The Beer Hall, SF. Bärnstensfärgad öl med vitt skum. Doft och smak är malt, fruktighet, citrus och tallbarrstoner.

UPDATED: AUG 25, 2019 Pours a mostly clear golden brown on tap with wispy white head that leaves moderate lace. Aroma of pithy citrus, pine, and caramel malts, spot on west coast IPA. Taste follows, pretty much what you would expect, with moderate bitterness and a semi dry finish. Decent enough.

UPDATED: APR 22, 2019 Draught @ Tapas & Taps, SFO Airport. Faintly cloudy golden with very small frothy off-white head, citrus peel aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus peel taste, thin body long finish. Decent IPA.

UPDATED: MAR 9, 2019 On tap in Sausalito, CA. Clear golden pour into a flute glass. Smallish head but good lacing. Bready aroma. Flavor is primarily grapefruit citrus hops. Well balanced and drinkable IPA.

UPDATED: FEB 24, 2019 Draft. Poured clear copper color with an average frothy white head that lasted with very good lacing. Moderate to heavy hop forward balanced aroma. Medium to abundant body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Moderate to heavy bittersweet flavor with a moderate to heavy bittersweet finish of medium to long duration. This beer met my expectations.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2018 Beautiful pour, a hazed pumpkin color, massive frothy ivory head. Nose is a little off, berry, citrus but also some soapiness. Big and creamy feel. Breads and citrus galore. Nice bitter pine finish. Decent.

Pint. Pours orange gold with full head. Big pine and citrus aroma, lots of hops. Good density, loads of deep citrus taste initially, then the bitterness kicks in. Very easy drinking for the abv. Nice balance between more traditional English style and West Coast kick. Loved it.
