Bottle from Craft Room. Pours clear gold with white head. Hoppy, resinous nose. Tastes medium bitter, bit of sweet mango feel. Quite significant malty base. Okay, but not the proper west coast thing I was looking forward to.

On tap @ 7. Cameralov festival mikropivovarjev, shared with Marko. Citrusy, mild tropical fruity, caramelly, grassy bitter and seems to be a bit oxidized. Not a best west coast sample...

Bottle. Extra hazy fiery orange, medium white head - juicy NEIPA look. Fruity hoppy aroma, a bit gentler but nice orange and peach notes. Solid hoppy bitterness, a bit sharp with herbal character. Slight citrusy touch. Lasting aftertaste. Pretty nice, though a bit sharp with herbal bitterness.
