This is from a little brewery originally founded in the aptly named town Hopland, CA; now based in Ukiah. This is a sessionable IPA from their seasonal collection made with Columbus, Simcoe, and Amarillo hops. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A clear gold colour with a hint of amber. There is little to no head, what is there is pure white.
Aroma: Lots of sweet hop resin with some barley sweet in the back.
Flavour: Initially just like it smells, with the hop resin a dominant front. With drinking it does tone down, with some orange hop notes coming through.
Body: Fresh but medium in weight, the carbonation is just right
Aftertaste: The back becomes a lot more bitter, with a hint of wax. This dies down with drinking, allowing the malt to leave a sweeter note.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, a nice simple sessionable IPA, just like it says on the bottle.
Price Range: Another from the box of 10 for £14, so £1.40 for a 355ml bottle; a good price for a nice session beer.
Food Pairings: This is much like others I've reviewed here and I probably give something along the same line for food pairing; so in this case I'm going to suggest Cheesey baked potato.
