Tap. Pours clear pale Amber, small off white head, creamy with nice lacing. Aroma is pretty straight pine. Flavor is strong pine resin, light sweet and quite bitter, pretty one dimensional. Light body, lingering bitterness.

Pour is a clear yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a super piney hop with pale malts in the back round. Flavor is clean dry malt with a bitter hop and an almost wintergreen mint like finish. Really hoppy even for an IPL and almost drinks like an IPA. I think I just found my highest rated lager.

Bottle. Pours with a crystal clear golden hued body with a large and retentive, just a shade off-white head. Aromas are herbal, a bit dank, chinook like grapefruit-herbal character, spicy, a bit of fruit, moderate delicate grain character. Flavors are mildly fruit, herbal, pine, spice. Hop centric with a low bitterness. Mild melon notes. Clean fermentation, mild malty toasty notes. Medium-light bodied, carb is medium (~2.4-.45). Quite drinkable/pleasant.

12oz bottle pours with a clear gold body that supports a bright white head. The faint aroma has virtually nothing going on, seriously I get nothing. So what was the point of dry hopping? If I work at it for a while I think I’m getting a thin malty echo. . . maybe. So if the lager warms maybe something will work aroma-wise, but a warm lager? Hmm. I’m stumped. The taste is sweet with sugar malts. To midway a nice spicy to lime hoppiness intercedes and helps take this to the finish where the mild hops linger for a while

Bottle from a small store in Woodland, CA. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma seems floral. Flavor is bready with a fair amount of floral hop. IPA equivalent? Nah. Hoppy, reasonably so. Think I’m getting some grass towards the finish. There’s not exactly a hop burn, but my tongue is tingling from hop. Nice drink.
