Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

22oz bomber into a goblet. Golden crystal orange appearance. Large white head approx 1 inch. Malty aroma. Malty flavor with bitter finish. Decent IPA. Also like that you can get it on tap at ATT park in SF
12 oz bottle. Poured a dark yellow with moderate head. Nice hoppy aroma. Taste is a bit grassy malty and florally with a moderate hops kick but not overstrong. Good stuff.
Bottle...Pours a golden orange with lots of carbonation and a lasting white head..Aroma is sweet with citrus hops...Sweet with a nice bitterness..Very solid IPA.
