Tap at Harry's in Redwood City. Pours orange and slight amber with white head that leaves large bubbles across the top and slightly patterns. Caramel nose with slight pine. Taste is sweet and cloying. The alcohol is not hidden here and drinks moderately hot. Pine and tongue scraping resins. Massive bitterness. A little rough throughout and could try to clean it up a bit,

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours darkish brassy gold with a white head. Aroma of sweet, mixed stone fruits. Pale malt maybe. It’s really thick and slick in body. It’s quite far from dry. Making me think of canned peaches and apricots, or maybe better to call jam. There’s clearly a lot of hop, but the thickness and the, dare I say, syrupiness, may well be cutting back the bitter. Tho there’s lots of bitter to spare. Not being bothered by heat. Except this stuff is causing me to sneeze. Great ale. I could have thought this was a hoppy barley wine. Bad it is!

Draft - Lots of caramel sweetness and citrus hops. Clear gold with a rich white head. Boozy orange. Not nearly as harsh as original and a shorter finish.
