Another Californian drop vying for the mantle of king of the IPAs.
"Bigger is better" it says, but this is a reasonably restrained 7.0 abv, which makes for a pretty sessionable experience. It's a golden colour in the glass, very light, visible and approachable. Taste-wise it's one of those archetypal IPAs, a little bit on the sweet / sugary side possibly but well balanced overall. I found there was a slight missing spot about three quarters of the way through the flavour profile that could have been punched up to really finish this beer nicely.
My feeling is if you were in the states and could pick up a six pack for a lobster or so, it would be a no brainer. As it is .. it's pretty damn pleasant but probably not as much of a special experience to warrant choosing it too often over some of its rivals. 7.5
