Courtesy of padrefan98. 0pened at the fordest tasting sharing with fordest, toncatcher, wetherel and of course padrefan98. Pours gold with a slight haze and white head with mild lacing. Nice aroma with grapefruit hops, tangelo and tart dark fruit like black grapes. The taste starts with a brief dark grape note before tart and bitter grapefruit, grapefruit rind and orange rind come to the surface. As the finish approaches the citrus notes become mildly orange wedge citrus sweetness as the sweet malts make an appearance.

bought at NXNW on my recent Austin trip.. . Pours a medium gold copper .. . fantastic lacing, medium to large head .. . hey hey, is this the west coast, very nice hop presence!! .. . i am not a nugget!-rip owen hart .. . very smooth, light mouthfeel .. god, jada pinkett smith sure is an ugly bitch!! .. . wow, a very full session ipa that has a big IBU number .. . would do well if sold in stores.. . . if I was on death row and given one last meal I would ask for a fortune cookie. "Come on 'long prosperous life!'".. . the finish really could be tweaked though!...

A cloudy rusty amber color with nice fluffy white head and good lacing. Aroma of pine and slight citrus. Flavor was rich caramel, almost an ESB toasty breadiness and some citrus and pine hops. Just the right amount of bitterness. Really nice thick but smooth mouthfeel. I wish I had more access to this brewery.

Poured a hazy amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine resin, citrus, tropical fruits, and sticky caramel malts. Taste of caramel, toasty dough, light toffee, citrus fruits, grassy hops, and a grapefruit bitterness.
