Tap at the Church by Lost Abbey, I think this is the correct entry point, given the ownership, pours an amber beer. It’s a proper resinous, bitter, pithy west coast

Churchkey on a cold day. Light too-fresh cheesiness on the nose. Woody, wintergreen herbal, toasty grilled cheese. Firstly Herbaceous, light citrus pith plays second fiddle, astringent white grapefruit middle, Simcoe husky with a touch of white onion, sharp malt streaking down the tail. Classic West Coast with a bit of extra astringency. Abv is right on point. Drinky drink is nice & dry. Great.

16 oz. can, pours a hazy bright orange with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with big sticky resinous hops, bitter orange peel, some citrus rinds, pine, and a big sticky caramel malt backbone. Flavour is very bitter, with tons of orange peel, big resinous hops, plenty of pine, grapefruit rind, and a big caramel malt base that doesn't leave much residual sweetness -- the hops steal the show and leave a long lingering bitterness. Good balance, expertly constructed. Excellent.

Grapefruit and pine. Some caramel, booze. Comes off bitter in the start then a cool zesty lemon vibe rolls in after, carrying through to the end. Clear golden pour with decent head. Good balance. Bitter. Tap at Churchkey.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours gold with a foamy white head. Citrus/resin aroma. Med body or so. Caramel base, but still towards dry. Resin/citrus/pine - sort of bitter/herb/sticky. Very good flavor.

Slightly opalescent golden colour, minimal off-white lacing; aroma and taste of grapefruit, pomelo, orange juice, yeasty, some grape, grassy, acetone, as well as minimal acetic note; reminds me to Houblon Chouffe TIPA a bit
