Can thanks to Jeremy. Pours orange gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is tropical fruit and grass. Slick body, grapefruit, pineapple, grass, resin bitterness, very good.

On tap twice - once at The Cooler in San Leandro and once at Gourmet Haus in Redwood City. You should really jack my score up not less than 0.2 or 0.3 b/c each time I had this, it was next to Pliny the Younger. Pliny hides the alcohol so much that this tastes like the traditional west coast malt bomb with bitterness and hops....but with the malt sticking in throughout because of the malt bill to create the sugars. But I had a bigger pour the second time and here's the thing...this is a great beer!

New batch. It’s a IIPA now for sure....It pours a bright orange color with an off white head. The aroma is full with orange, grapefruit, onion and dank. The flavor is the same with big orange, hop spice, dank and a little honeyed malt. Very tasty.
