32 oz crowler purchased at Tustin Brewing in Tustin, California and consumer an hour later. The pour is a clear golden with a lasting one inch white foamy head. The aroma is fresh hay, citrus and pine. The taste is full piney bitter, touch of the orange peel, dry floral and more bitter pine to the finish. Nice . biscuit malt backbone. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and a bitter clean finish. A bit of warming alcohol in the back. Really good old school IPA.

On the afternoon of Tuesday 17th May 2016 I visited The Tustin Brewery and had one of the most disappointing flights of beer I have ever had. Beer number five and I finally get a beer with some proper flavour. This light amber brew had some piney hops in it’s aroma and taste, after the first four beers I thought my senses of smell and taste had left me, thankfully this just confirmed the other beers had been as poor as my notes suggested.

Draught at the brewpub during RBSG. Clear, amber liquid with medium off-white head. Aroma of mango, citrus, grass, grapefruit, cereal, caramel and biscuit. Taste is dry and medium to high bitter with citrus and biscuit. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Bit too malty, bit too little hops.

Draft. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has strong notes fo hops is it Nelson Sauvin? combined with notes of grapefruit and grass. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, grass, grapefruit, and lovely spices - again I’m reminded of Nelson Sauvin, leading to a dry, spicy, grassy, and bitter finish.

On tap. Brewer said this was nearly two months old, but still tasted pretty fresh to me. Pours with a clear orange body and a long lasting white head with great lace. Aroma of strong orange citrus and light hops. (C-hops and some simcoe). Taste is really nice, herbal, citrus and dank. Fresh smelling. Light caramel. Very nicely attenuated. Creamy carbonation, good bitterness, dry and well made!
