On tap at the Russian River Brewery. The beer pours gold with thin off white head. It has a mild aroma of faint spice, tartness and faint sweetness. The mild spiciness must be the Bravo hops. The taste starts mildly sweet with some tartness and a big punch of Bravo hop spice with the addition of floral and some pine hops. I can’t pin down the dominant Bravo hop character. It seems to be spice, mildly floral and pine. Interesting. I look forward to trying more of this variety. It is a tasty hop heavy Belgian style yeast ale.

Draft at the brewpub (6.74%). Aroma was very unusual - brett and angostura bitter came to mind. Dark golden color with a white head that ringed and left delicate lace tatters. Thin to medium body with mild carbonation. Lightly sweet herb flavor with complimentary bitter. Three of us tried it, and no one could put a finger on a name for the principal flavor. Let’s say floral/herby hop. Nice lingering bitter finish. Good stuff, if puzzling.

Growler from the pub! Nose of citrus hops and bready malt, nothing like Elder or Younger or Blind Pig etc.; different from RR; beautiful clear golden hue with a small yellow tinged head; flavor has some hop bitternesswith some little bretty, spicy twists to the maltiness. Unusual, nontypical IPA! But tasty!

Draft. Amber beer with a low off-white head. Low spicy yeast, citrus aroma. Musty, citrus flavor with some yeastiness. Medium body. Lingering pithiness. Didn’t care much for. Made with 100% Bravo hops and I think it clashed with the yeast.
