Keg at Beer Craft, Santa Rosa, 03/02/16. Orange golden with a decent light beige head. Nose is bitter hop, dank straw, orange pith, pine resin. Taste comprises caramel malt, light spice, grapefruit, pine, toasted bread. Medium bodied +, fine carbonation, semi aggressive hop bitterness in the close. Decent enough DIPA.

4/V/16 - 1Pt. 6Fl. Oz. bottle @ work BBQ - BB: n/a, bottled: III/11/16 (2016-493) Thanks to t0rin0 for the trade and Akke for muling!
Clear orange beer, small irregular off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: malty, grains, hay, bit grassy. MF: ok carbon, full body. Taste: sweet very malty start, alcohol, caramel, some honey, fruity, sweet and sugary. Aftertaste: resinous bitterness, fruity, some mango and banana. Although this is rather fresh, I don't get much of the Citra or Nelson...

Keg at Beercraft during ’RBWG 2016’. Pours clear orange-gold with a creamy, white head. Fresh, juicy citrus fruits in the nose, some pine accents. Medium to heavy sweet flavour with moderate piney and grassy bitterness, grapefruit, alcohol, melon. Full bodied with average carbonation. Warming and resinous on the finish, with some bready pale malts, booze, orange, tangerine, oily pine. Heavy-hitting gear - it’s just a little too much.

Light haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry and has a fine crispness. Smooth malts, lightly sweet with a nice amount of cream. Resinous piney hops and spicy orange. Bitterish orange peel. Little tangerine. It’s a smooth hop profile, but with muscle. Finishes semi dry with hop spice and peel bitterness lingering on. Nice one.
