There is not much on this beer on the website and nowhere to contact the brewer. This is supposed to be an American IPA version. Here is my take below:
Aroma: fruity, hoppy, slightly toasty
Apperance: golden amber, slight head that dissapates quickly to a ring and sticks to glass, cloudy (this was an unfiltered ale)
Flavor: Medium-high bitterness, malt flavor is biscuity, spicy, bready, toffee. Hop flavor similar to aroma.
Mouthfeel: Medium
Overall Impression: Has english characteristics in malt flavor, aroma and appearance. Lacks american hop character to be considered a solid american IPA. Althouth, it may not be exotic it was tasty.

Marcus,
Are you going to make it to the SoCal Homebrew Festival next weekened? If so, look me up. I'll be with the Brewcommune guys.
No, i will not be able to make it as I will be racing a triathlon that weekend near Paso Robles, which means I will hopefully be visiting the Firestone Brewery!!!
But, I will be at the Del Mar commercial/homebrew contest in june.
Do you have beers entered?
The entries for the homebrew portion of the SD County Fair comp aren't due until 5/21. I'll definitely be entering 2-3 beers.
