Large sized sample poured by the breweries Southern California Market Manager Jenny Ramos during a Beer and Indian food evening in The Clay Oven, irvine, Orange County on 14th July 2014. Mini-haze to my glass, the bottle already being half empty by the time I got to the Mission area. No head to speak of. Expected a bigger hop profile to be honest. There were plenty around and mostly giving the brew a citrus more than a bitter taste and feel. I thought it easy to drink but lacking in interest compared to many of the other beers that were on offer during a lovely evening of good food and great beers.

Bottle@ Kitty’s, Hki. Deep amber, hazy, thick white head. Fruity aroma, mango, pineapple, citrus, some woody notes perhaps. Flavor has citrus, blood orange, sweetness, some herbal notes as well. Smooth, high drinkability. Tasty, feels fresh as well. Nice.

(Bottle, 0.355 l, at Kitty’s, 20140625) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sweetness, resin and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, tangerine, fruitiness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, sweet and bitter. The excessive fruitiness resulted in an unbalanced brew. Easy to drink.

bottle - Pours very hazy orange with a huge head requiring a multi-part pour. It’s extremely bubbly. Smell of oxidation and band-aid with a disgusting taste to match. Yep, it’s infected. The ratings are good enough that I’m willing to give this beer another try if I get the chance and will change my rating at that time if appropriate, but I’m sick of infected beers and rating them as is. Quality control matters.
