From a 355ml bottle on 16/2/2020 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a clear blight amber with a small head. The nose is quite fruit and malty. The flavour is of dark fruit and berries, nuts and with light vinous notes. It's reasonably hoppy with a resinous finish. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A very solid hoppy amber.

Deep dark coppered and bronze coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall thick pure white head that stays afloat for a long while. Aroma of nuts, earth, toffee and a good, healthy dose of bright citrusey and piney hops. Medium-bodied; Deep hoppy bite throughout with a lot of earthy and nutty flavours with a softer sweetness from caramelised sugars, all ending with a dash of hay and dry flavours. Aftertaste shows the grain and nuts throughout with a healthy dose of bitterness from the higher alpha acid hops and a good dose of sweetness from some resin and fruits as well. Overall, a nice and flavourful amber with a bright hoppiness, along with a good deal of sugars, bitterness and even some nutty and earthy notes throughout. Great to sample, especially fresh and local here in Los Angeles. I sampled this stubby, twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Whole Foods in Beverly Hills (Los Angeles), California on 26-December-2019 for US$2,75 sampled in my hotel room here in Downtown Los Angeles, California, a day later on 27-December-2019.

Bottle on 19th Dec 2019, in The Cellar, San Clemente. Amber pour, off-white head. Malty molasses in the aroma and taste alongside some resinous hop esters and flavours, semi-sweet rather than hop bitter, although the hops can be found throughout the brew.
