Bottle: Poured a bright copper color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of medium citrus hops with a good caramel malt base. Taste is also a good mix between some caramel malt with some lightly citrus and bitter hops. Very refreshing with good carbonation. Very well done for the style.

Pours with a large, fluffy, off-white head. Clear honey orange body. Head diminishes but leaves good lacing. Aroma is nice and piney with a bit of citrus, some soap and and caramel. Taste is soapy and malty with bitter hops at the finish. Creamyish mouthfeel, light bubbles.

Sample at Yard House in San Diego. This brew is a rich amber color with a medium and frothy white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing. Citrus and hops in the nose. Medium-bodied with flavors of citrus and earthy malt, and unfortunately a strong model glue flavor. The finish is very astringent and the acetone/model glue character permeates throughout. I have to assume the fault is the lines or some other QC issue but will have to try again sometime to verify.

Bottle. A clear, golden beer with an off-white head. Almost catpee-ish hops in the nose, but fortunately that’s just some of it, there’s also citrus, pine, grapefruit and a nice grainy maltyness. Grapefruity, citrusy hops with some grains and malty sweetness giving some balance. Long bitter finish. Medium body, still feeling a bit watery. It’s a nice beer, but it feels a bit one-dimentional and watery. Some more malts wouldn’t hurt, but it would maybe affect drinkability, which is high in this beer. (080509)
