Not too over the top for a IIPA initially -pleasant fleshy malts with a pleasant bitter finish. Nice fruit- mix of mandarin/'orange juice with a slight to mild roasted malt finish.

Anchor Liberty Ale

Anchor Liberty Ale, US$8.99 a 6 pack, 6% ABV

Had this before- sweet malts, caramel and a bit of pine- lovely session beer tho a little rich. I like it quite alot- nice little bitter note at the end too. (Sometimes this tasted great and other times just OK- I bought a bottle home to share)
Wish it was readily available here - can get here for $30 (+ freight) for a 6 pack.
7.5+/10

Stone Arrogant Bastard

1st beer (on my trip to LA October 2010) was a Stone Arrogant Bastard on draught- at The Grove in LA.
It was quite nice - the end bitter note was very persistant and strong. Worthwhile good drop.
Didn't take notes at the time-was kinda surprised to find it at this place- Morels French Steakhouse & Bistro
