The Beer
Torrey Pines IPA
Brewed by Left Coast Brewery, San Clemente, CA
6.9% alcohol
Style: India Pale Ale

Our Take
We found this beer to have a bright fruity citrus flavor with a sweet malty and just slightly bitter hoppy finish. If you are used to the typical aggressive West Coast style of IPA’s then there’s a chance you’ll this find Torrey Pines IPA a bit on the weak side, that being said I think this would be a great beer for someone who wants to get into IPA’s but can’t yet really down something as hoppy (aka bitter) as an Arrogant Bastard. I found this beer to be quite drinkable and think it might appeal more to casual beer drinkers than to hardcore IPA fans. Rating 3.9/5

The Beer
Alesmith X – Extra Pale Ale
Brewed by AleSmith, San Diego, CA

Style: American Pale Ale

Our Take
We found this beer to be incredibly refreshing and crisp with hints of grapefruit on the palate. While the flavor of hops was definitely present, the beer was far from bitter. Actually, we found it to have quite a smooth finish and aftertaste. Overall, the verdict was unanimously positive! We give this brew a 4.4 out of 5. If you’re looking for an American style pale ale, then grab yo’self an Alesmith X… foo.
