Well, for someone living on the east coast/panhandle of Florida, it sure is nice to have a West coast IPA available on tap to drink versus the lighter east coast varietals. This is not necessarily one of my favorites, but it definately satisfies the void of a solid, hoptastic IPA forgotten by most East coast breweries. Almost bitter at the first taste, with a great hoppy finish that covers the high alcohol content of nearly 7%. The pungeant smell of hops dominates the smell of the beer in the glass. One looks forward to taking a drink after the smell hits the nose! Not quite a favorite, as Racer 5 is a bit more refined in its hop balance, but a definate go to beer when there are no other adequate IPAs on the menu. I'd give it a B+.
