This beer is the essence of Southern California. A traditional west coast IPA with a distinct copper hue, enhanced by generous additions of navel oranges, sweet blood oranges and grapefruit, all grown in Redlands, CA. The citrus flavors and aromas intensify the zesty cascade and zythos hops to deliver a one-of-a-kind drinking experience. An invigorating beer with a pleasant, defining bitterness, perfect for warm weather





Grapefruit is the prominent flavor that I taste, but I do taste oranges as well...pretty hoppy but not overly bitter...nice beer, very drinkable for 8.5% abv





As advertised, orange is featured prominently. I have to admit, having orange flavor in place of the normal grapefruit was a refreshing change. The bitterness is right on, and the DIPA malts are tasty. Well-balanced.
