Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear gold with a transient white head. Aroma of citrus and perhaps peach. Malt is light. About med body. Flavor is fruity with citrus and light malt support. Fairly dry. Perhaps more than moderately bitter. Rather old school - pine shows up in the finish - good flavor.

Shaker pint draft at the Marriott Convention Center in Downtown Oakland, California. The pour is a mostly clear golden orange with a small egg white head. The aroma is faint, floral, citrus fruit hop with some caramel grain malt underneath. The taste is a nice blend of the floral citrus hop and the clean biscuit sweet malt, along with a nice dry softly bitter finish. The palate is medium bodied, soft natural carbonation and the clean dry finish. Solid IPA.

Tap. Pours clear Amber, medium off white head, great lacing. Aroma is super light, almost undetectable. Faint who’s of pine and melon. Flavor is light plus sweet, bit of melon and pine. Super muted. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. This one just needs more going on. Totally balanced, not harsh, but boring.

Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. Grapefruit aroma. Summer fruit and grapefruit flavor with malt. Medium bodied. Decent bitterness. Summer fruit and grapefruit linger with light caramel and light pine. Too much crystal malt and not enough hops.
