3.9 Great bitter taste

3.4 Can from Saveur. A little bit old-ish unfortunately. Clear golden with white head. Loads of resinous sourness, fresh cut grass and some bread dough. Refreshingly bitter.

4.1 Bue ce mardi soir, pour fêter le début des vacances! Bonne ipa west coast, l'amertume est assez brutale (bien que l'ibu ne soit pas très élevée)!

3.4 15/20 really tasty citrus ipa with a bit of depth and bitterness, just really tasty, best IPA I've had for a while

3.9 It probably sat at the Safeway for longer than it should've. That being said, this is still an excellent beer. I can taste the ghosts of Mosaic, Simcoe and Citra hops. The malt is stronger now, but that's not a bad thing. Great takeback to the classic days of ABC!

3.6 Burk. Disig guldfärgad med ett vitt skum. Dofter och smaker av citrus, omogen ananas, blomster, örter och tall. Beskan dominerar, men på ett snyggt sätt.

3.5 Goud geel bier met een witte schuimkraag. Het bier smaakt sterk bloemig en fruitig, te proeven is ananas, perzik en citrus. Daarnaast veel lekkere bloemige smaken van bloemen en de hop. Eindigt mooi bitter.

3.1 1 pint

4.0 Darker straw with a slight haze to it. Not the most epic head retention. Ripe tropical fruits. Smells "soft" and inviting. Nice tropical fruit flavors and I wanna say peach (?) but not sweet. Can't really pull out any malt flavors so I suspect they're letting the hops do the heavy lifting. The initial smooth fruitiness gives way to a really nice residual bitterness that isn't harsh and isn't going anywhere soon. Definitely a "hoppy" beer, but I doubt it has the C hops in there. While I've seen many people say its "dank, resinous, and piney", I'm not getting any of that. Might be that I still remember the San Diego IPAs of the early 2000s... Really nice, smooth/soft mouthfeel with tight bubbles of carbonation. A quick swish in the mouth results in an almost pillowy beer experience.

3.8 Can at home, golden beer, small head. Aroma is malt, resin, hops, pine. Taste is the same, resinous, pine, bitter, hops, long bitter dry aftertaste, very nice.

3.9 355 ml can. Pours clear dark golden color with a small white head. Resinous hops on the nose, lots of pine, caramel tones, some malty notes, citric fruits. Flavor is citric and mouthwatering, oily hoppy with nice bitterness, some malty and caramel-y notes on the finish. A solid resinous hoppy IPA. 3515

3.8 Can. Golden orange pour. Aroma of garlicy hop, orange, pineapple, grassy herbs, mango and bready malt. Taste has pineapple, garlic mosaic hop, creamy orange, bready malt, grapefruit and mango. Nicely bitter ánd tropical.

3.7 Clear golden/amber beer with a slight/medium off-white head. Medium/heavy aroma; taste starts medium/heavy sweet and ends slightly bitter and dry. Caramel, orange, pine, hops and citrus. 8/2/8/4

3.9 Pours a chill-hazed golden orange from the 19.2oz can with bubbly off-white foam that dissipates fairly quickly to leave moderate lace. Aroma of resinous grassy and citrus hop notes over a clean biscuit and cracker malt base. Taste follows, hops are forward, but enough malt to back it, a nice solid bitterness to give it a West Coast punch without being heavy on the caramel. Nicely done, as expected from Alpine.

3.6 Golden colour with lasting thin head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of floral hop notes. Quite soapy.

3.5 12 fl oz can. Appearance: Pale gold topped with a bit of white froth. Aroma: Citrus and grapefruit, some pine and wood. Taste: Citrus sweetness and grapefruit bittersweet, followed by dank floral bitter finish. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, average carbonation.

4.1 Slightly hazy deep golden with a thin rocky white head. Lovely dank sticky hop aroma featuring earthy floral hops and a little pine and a firm slightly biscuity malt backbone. Big flavor that’s malty and slightly biscuity and grainy with a bitter piney classic ‘00s touch with A floral resinous Finish. Crisp and full and has some American hoppy nuance but refrains from being overly bitter or oily or too dank.

3.7 This was a good base IPA.

3.3 Can. Golden, hazy, average and mostly lasting head. Moderate, malty and lightly sweetish - sweetish aroma, light - some caramel, some tropical fruitiness, some grapefruit/ light citrus hoppyness. Body is medium, malty and lightly sweetish - sweetish flavor, light - some caramel, some tropical fruitiness, some grapefruit/light citrus hoppyness. Finish is average, malty and lightly sweetish, light - some caramel, light tropical fruitiness, some grapefruit/light citrus hoppyness. Way too sweet and too much caramel for me. In the finish bitterness gets bit sharp and soapy (despite of caramel and sweetness).

3.6 Tall boy can from Whole Foods HV. Really a nicely brewed IPA. Just a hint of dank hops, plus some sweet and pithy citrus fruit. Very mild bitterness. Well balanced and drinkable. Enjoyable.

4.0 Herrlich fruchtiges IPA, das nicht so derb reinhaut, aber trotzdem sehr intensiv schmeckt. Fruchtig, crispy, leicht harzig, angenehm bitter, süffig, geil.

3.7 Can from Safeway in Campbell, CA. Aroma is earthy orange, moss, mild rubber, slightly tropical. Taste is slightly dank but also bright. Body is a little thin but finished is crisp and nice warming bitterness coming through. Glad to see they’re still alive and kicking.

3.9 Pours deep straw with white large bubble head that dissipates quickly. Huge aroma up front bright fruity hop aromas. Decently bitter up front which lingers through. Just enough malt to balance the good amount of hops. Really nice!

3.8 入口是 ipa 标准的苦，之后越来越柔和，像喝茶一样先苦后甘

3.5 Can in Denver bought off the shelf...about 4 months old :(. Nose is some dank hops, taste is bitter with some pine and garlic. Ok. Would like to revisit fresh but afraid after the Green Flash implosion that is getting less likely unless visiting So Cal.

3.0 Can - lightly hazy gold - a wispy malt presence gives just enough for bitter hops to cling to, but fails to provide character - some citrus and pepper and not much else - meh.

3.7 酒體爽口柚子香甜 19/07/17@啤啤

2.4 Can (May 7, 2019 bottling). Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain), lightly to moderately hoppy (melon, orange), with a strong note of onion. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter, slightly unclean. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. I'm so sick and tired of oniony IPAs, I can't even tell you...

3.8 Can. Grapefruit citrus hop aroma with notes of mango, floral and pine resiny hops. Pours clear amber colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention, but little lacing. Starts with bright grapefruit citrus and mango hop flavors. Finishes dry, but smooth with floral and pine resiny hop flavors with a hint of bitterness. Nice, well balanced IPA.

3.8 Can. Orange gold, low head, aroma of pine, pithy citrus. Flavour has a good malt/hop balance, grapefruit, pine, tropicality, punchy bitterness with resin. Straight up west coast done well.
