Draft at Sacramento Brewing Co. Served in a snifter. Murky brown color (kinda like ....) with a nice tan head. Strong hoppy resin aroma. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. There’s roasted malt backbone, but the flavor is all hop - mostly resin, could be some grapefruit. Hop burn! This is the real deal. Finishes towards dryish and very hoppy, though sugar is ever present. A heavy ale. Highly recommended.

Location: Draft sampling from Whole Foods (Bowery @ Houston St.)
Aroma: Caramel, earthy/piney hops
Appearance: Amber/red, off-white head
Flavor: Sugary sweet initially with the hops in mid-palate/finish
Palate: Nice transition through the palate, decent mouthfeel, full body
Overall Impression: Just a small sampling, but I thought it was pretty good. Lots of character to this one, that's for sure, I'm just thinking they may have tried to do a little too much here.

Draft. Rich brown beer with a nice tan head. Caramel and grapefuit aroma. Nice rich grapefruit/pine flavor with caramel backing. Medium-plus bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit/pine, and caramel lingers. Aggressively balanced. Nice.
