Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. Light grapefruit aroma. Juicy citrus and light spice flavor with earth. Medium-plus bodied. Juicy citrus and light summer fruit lingers with light spice and earth.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA as Hop Sandwich. Pours translucent amber gold with a white head. Fruity hop aroma. Med + body. Flavor is a bit dank, fruity, with a little malt support. Finally something suggesting rye spice.Very hoppy, approaching dry, and not all that bitter.

Clear golden with a medium sized white head, good lacing. Aroma is earthy, diesel and resin. Flavor is pine, sweet and heavy Iron (hard water)
Not very good, not balanced with a heavy metal taste.

Pale orange. Persistent sticky head. I don’t get rye spice on the nose. Just a nice juicy fruit hop with bready yeast. Taste is nice. It’s sweet from start to finish. Pineapple, pears and cloves. It’s really interesting. Not boozy, very easy to drink.
