This IPA comes from another Californian micro brewery, with the state serving up some real quality on this challenge thus far. Never have I been this dazzled by the Golden State, not since Tim Hardaway UTEP 2 Stepped his way across the paint like it aint no thang.
The beer pours an incredibly cloudy orange colour. It looks full and heavy and... delicious to be honest. It's one of those beers where you can literally see particles of awesomeness floating around inside it. There is barely anything to the head, it's all about the body. It's a butterface. Like Fergie.
And the taste...
Daaaayuuuummmm. HUGE. There is a very brief whiff of sweet malt before you are completely buried alive by bitter hops. There is a noticable 7% bite that combines with the bitterness to make a scorching but palatable finish.
As far from a sessionable beer as you can get, but gee whiz, definitely one to be experience if you are a hop head.
8/10
