Brewery draught, 7/15/22. Lightly hazy, brass-lemon-golden. Small, moderately well-retained, white head. Big mango-papaya and light pine with strong honey-like, cakey malts. Clean, though maybe a touch of soapy acidity. Sweet and malty with a big back drop of hops and growing acidity. Maybe a touch cakey and sweet, and the hops are a little disjointed, adding close to too much acidity on the finish. But it's again clean.

Half pour at the brewery. Appearance is lightly hazy golden yellow with light sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head fading to a ring and nice lacing. Aroma is almost absent. Mild west coast aroma—can you smell bitter? Resin and light malt. Taste is subtle—mainly bitter resin with cracker malt offset. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, lively carbonation and finish with sweet cracker then intensely bitter. Overall, old school. Not what I want to drink. Subtle and too carbonated. Didn't finish.

Sample at the source. Light gold in color with a good sized long lasting bubbly white head. Bready lightly toasty maltiness offset with earthy citrus hops. Bitter astringency and light butter.
