Paso Robles, California - Session India Pale Ale - 4.50% ABV - This sessionable IPA poured a clear, pale amber color with a small layer of white foam that dissipates quickly. The nose featured subtle aromas of ripe pineapple, juicy oranges, pine needles, and bitter grapefruit. The mouth was refreshing; crisp flavors of grapefruit juice, mango, resinous pine, and floral undertones create a clean tasting SIPA. The mouthfeel was light bodied, with a supple, yet flavorful finish. This was a solid representation of a session IPA in which I recommend everyone to try. I enjoyed this brew at Lordsburg in La Verne, CA. They have one of the best tap selections that I've ever seen. Cheers! 8.4/10
