Draft at the Carlsbad location. A hazy golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is malty combined with notes fo citrus and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of grass and grapefruit on a malty back ground, and with a light touch of strawberries, leading to a bitter finish. 35 IBU’s.

Draft at Disney’s California Adventure Park. Nose of pine and floral hops with some light caramel balance. Clear light amber with a medium off white head. Flavor is piney bitterness finishing with a light dose of the bitter remaining. Decently hoppy beer if you are at Disneyland with the family, but you will need a parkhopper or CA ticket to get you in to get some!

From tap at the brewpub in Carlsbad. Pours clear and golden orange with a fully diminished white head. Peachy and mild orange fruity hops aroma, quite inviting. Dry hoppy grapefruit flavour with a mild peachy flavour following. Starts solid bitter but goes lovely fruity into the finish. Nice one.

Sample at the Sorrento Valley location. This brew is a deep amber color with a medium thin light beige head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing. Citrus hops aroma with a touch of malt. Medium body with grapefruit and hops flavors, along with some sweet malt. The finish is dry and hoppy with a lingering bitterness left over. Not bad overall.

On tap at La Jolla location Karl Strauss. Pours deep gold with a nearly copper core and white head. The aroma is big with a dose of pine, grassiness and hints of grapefruit hops. Smells great. The mouth feel seems thin throughout. The taste begins with fresh grapefruit juice hop flavor and bitterness followed by a mild pulse of pine hop bitterness and faint malty sweetness. The watery-ness of the beer is a bit distracting. Very enjoyable. Maybe I was expecting much less.
