Tawny colored, this IPA is true to style. It is very generously hopped with Tomahawk, Centennial, Cascade, and Amarillo hops for and intensely hoppy aroma, flavor and bitterness with a balanced malty flavor.

Solid IPA from El Toro. A big hop bomb coming in at 6.5%. Firm dank nose with floral notes and grapefruit. Citrus doesn't last too long, quickly covered up by the rush of hop buds being washed down the pipes. This is a bitter-ass beer! I like it though.

Cloudy copper, with a white airy head that clings to the sides of the glass as it fades. In addition to big more-citric-less-piney-hops-than-stuff-like-Stone hops, a slight fruitiness is in the aroma. The big hops don't cover a nice toasty malt and mild fruitiness that makes this a bit more than a hop monster. If they took the India out of this, it'd still be a nice beer.

Medium gold color. Small head. Aroma is hoppy and woody. This is a not a BIG West Coast IPA, but its definitely a West Coast IPA. Very hoppy with a big citrus and grapefruit overtones. Nice malts as well. Full bodied. Well balanced. Nice IPA. Woody and juicy. Very tasty. Great creamy and smooth texture. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is dry. Aftertaste is bitter.

Hazy orange-amber in color, this beer pours with a fairly thick, rocky off-white head and little effervescence. Nice brussels lace left in the glass. Aroma is sweet and hoppy, with some caramel and butterscotch in the malt notes, and just enough hops to make you aware they are there. Mouthfeel is crisp and smooth, yet a little creamy. Flavor is strongly sharp and bitter, much moreso than I originally expected from the aroma. Finishes plenty bitter and lingering. Definitely a cleansing, almost abrasive IPA, with hop bitterness to spare. Not bad for the style, just a little too hoppy and bitter for me nowadays.

A small head on an orange-brown colored beer. Very good lacing. Had a fresh, sharp hop aroma and flavor. Light-medium body. Hoppy aftertaste. Another fine example of a west coast IPA.

Lovely malt nose with big hop overtones, the head generous and beige, the lace quite nice. Dark cloudy amber color, and 6.5 ABV. The start malt sweet, the middle a blend of malt and hops, with a nice hop bitter somewhat dry finish, mild to moderate carbonation, over all a decent IPA. Not a Big Daddy, but good in it's own rigths, and worth a try.
