Bomber from Monument in Concord, CA. Pours coppery gold with a large foamy/frothy off-white head. Aroma shows slightly roasty malt first, then there's citrus pine. Almost an APA aroma. Med body. Flavor matches the aroma. Blind taste I might call it APA - but it's very much old school IPA. Dry despite the malt. Hoppy and bitter. Even a hop bite/burn. Good stuff. Blast from yesteryear.

Draught at Harry's Hofbrau. This is a pure classic. Solid citrus and pine aroma. Clear light copper with off-white head that retains well and patterns nicely down the glass. Holds a collar and dusting over the top. Taste is clean with overt orange and moderate bitterness. A relic of what the great west coast IPAs of the late aughts once were!!
