Crispy, citrus, easy to drink with the higher ABV. Great west coat ipa.

I went in skeptical, came out a believer. It was golden perfection, loaded with sediment floating around. Mellow caramel note up front, west coast style IPA in the middle, and grassy finish. Never offensive, totally balanced, with just enough alcohol bite to make it interesting. I passed it up so many times! Definitely well-crafted. I'd do it again.

A perfect, totally hoppy, grassy, boozy double IPA that just tastes like Cali

Orange honey in color. Not much of a head. Caramel and malts on the nose. Hop forward with a little bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste. 'Chewy' in texture. Not my favorite style of DIPA but a drinkable one.

Caramel and woodsy hops taste, some grapefruit at the end. Decent double IPA but not fantastic. Bottle, March 2013.

Nice citrus aroma. Suspended yeast with orange gold color. Great taste with bitter finish.

This beer is a nice balance of hops and malts. The Amarillo hops seem to be a more mellow variety... More on this later?
