UPDATED: JAN 24, 2020 Can. Pours a clear copper with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has pine and bread with a touch of sweet grains. Flavor has pine and a touch of dank papaya with bread and grain growing.

UPDATED: MAR 19, 2019 review from 2003; on tap at the brewery; fruity, citrusy hop aroma; amber color; smooth and well balanced with a great citrusy hop flavor

UPDATED: DEC 15, 2018 Can purchased in AZ. Amberish golden, slight haze, and light head. Piney with a bit of a malty backbone. Mild bitterness.

Can (BB Aug 16, 2018). Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is dark yellow. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain, malt syrup, caramel), lightly to moderately hoppy (grapefruit), with a light note of butter. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. A bit crude and simple, but certainly drinkable.

Golden-copper color with solid white head. Floral-orange, citrus peel aroma and taste. A nice IPA. Notes: on tap at the brew pub, summer '12

On tap at the brewery. A hazy amber pour with a ring of white head; big woody west coast aroma; piney in the mouth with some citrus; then a crisp but rather thin finish. Falls short of the standard set by the major Californian IPAs.

12oz can pours out a pale orange topped with a white head. Nose is sweet citrus some caramel malt sweetness. Taste is more of the sweet citrus hop some pine and caramel.

Canned, 355 ml from Park Plaza Liquor & Deli. Cloudy orange with medium white head. Pine hoppy, some citrus, malty, sweetish with bitterness in finish. Medium bodied. More hoppiness would be nice.

12oz can - pours a clear bronze/gold with a med to thick off white head. Not a lot of aroma but some pine hop and a hint of caramel malt. Light on flavor too with minor hops and limited malt flavor. Chugable not sippable.

12 oz single can shared, purchased at Total Wine & More - Gilbert, AZ. Orange to amber appearance with a white head. Aroma and flavor of pine, light citrus fruit, light resinous hops and light malts. Not bad overall.
