Tower 10 IPA boasts hops from beginning to end, and everywhere in between. We fill the brew kettle to the brim with assertive Chinook hops, giving the beer its intense grapefruit and pine flavors that linger through its dry finish. After fermentation, we dry hop with a blend of Cascade and Centennial hops for a floral citrus aroma. A touch of lightly kilned caramel malts make Tower 10 a well balanced, full flavored IPA. Mission Beach, the late 1980s. Amid a sea of neon bikinis, Tower 10 marked the spot where two college grads and a 75 year-old master brewer drew up plans for the first local craft brewery in San Diego since Prohibition. Named in honor of our first good idea, Tower 10 IPA is brewed to inspire the next one. Color: 14 SRM Bitterness: 60 IBU Gravity: 16° Plato Availability: 24/7/365, Kegs and Bottles

Taps clear amber with a fairly thick and fine-bubbled pale buff head. Aroma is not strong, but promises fresh hops and malt. Flavor delivers evergreen, zingy hops and fresh malt plus more than a hint of grapefruit. Mouthfeel features firm body and strong, lasting fizz. Maybe not towering, but a worthy IPA.

On tap at Karl Strauss in La Jolla - their best offering that I tried. More malty than I would normally expect in an IPA, but not hateful at all - a decent balance. Drawn medium amber-orange with a decent head and lacing. Nicely carabonated with citrus floral flavors. Bitter finish.

Sampled on 7/12/2010. This India Pale Ale pours a medium orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head, with nice lacing and good retention. The aroma is biscuty malts and grapefruity hops. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are caramel, bready and sweet. The hops are grapefruity and citrusy. Nice balance. A malty IPA, yet there is a nice citrusy hop bite. Good carbonation. Nice dry finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean, dry and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

a biscuity malt forward ipa that is not quite what i was goin for. thought it was the citrus hopped Stargazer IPA and bought a sixer by mistake. well made for what it is i suppose, but the hops need to have a bigger role. Pretty weak even brewery fresh.
