CBC’s overriding mission is to brew beers that are 100% true to our San Diego roots. Our spring seasonal, an unfiltered Belgian-style IPA, does so in spades thanks to aggressive West Coast hopping, while paying tasteful homage to Old World flavors and brewing traditions.

Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured an incredibly murky and soupy pale yellow-orange with a medium sized frothy yellow-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was strong lemon, orange and grapefruit. The flavor was tart and bitter with notes of orange, lemon, grapefruit, tropical fruits, pepper, chalk and yeast. The beer turned dry towards the long finish with orange, tropical fruits and chalk lingering. Thick and full body. Quite nice.

Draught. A bit darker and hazy with a white head. Citrus, sugary sweet, bright fruits, light yeast spices, and a nice bitter hop bite. Has a nice grapefruit and light spicy yeast bite on the finish. The Belgian influence is a little more mild than many BIPAs that I’ve had and I think that makes this work so well. Good stuff.

22 oz. bottle, pours a semi-hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of strong tropical fruits (pineapple, mango), orange zest, caramel malts, Belgian yeast and some resinous hops. Flavour is very tropical fruity, with lots of grapefruit, orange zest and butter resinous hops. Nice array of flavours that compliment each other, even though the hops are a little muted.

Bomber from South Bay Drug. Slightly hazy orange tinged amber color with a minimal white head that quickly degenerated into a few bubbles. My nose knows there’s a lot of pine in here, but it’s not sure whether there is also grapefruit. It’s a very strong aroma. Very full bodied with creamy carbonation. The flavor is like chewing pine needles, with a little malt sweetness. Finish is quite definitely bitter, but it’s smooth, balanced, not harsh. There’s a lot of hop, it’s just not harshly bitter. Damn, but it’s a fantastic drink.

Bomber pours deep gold with white head. The aroma is full and loaded with grapefruit tartness and sweet tangelo along with a hint of malt sweetness in the background. The taste is fresh, bright and refreshing and doesn’t lead on at all to the label stated ABV. I get sweet malts that quickly bleed into a load of grapefruit hops and tangelo. Very nice experience. The Belgian yeast approach compliments the late addition hop flavor and sweet malts nicely. Yum. It has a somewhat dry finish.

Orangey-amber with slight haze. Liquorice root, pomegranate, and somewhat cherryish nose. Deep taste - almost like a dubbel with dark fruits and liquorice in a pale beer. Slightly bitter, but moderately sweet in the finish.

Draught, two tries, both pretty different, points are an average Red amber to pale ochre with some haze under an ultra-thin head, leaving lace somehow. Banana ester, phenols, Lapsan Souchong tea and dry, ureumholding hops. First sample full of phenols, less hops, and slighlty smoked, retronasal some caramel; second sample very bitter, seriously dry and a long flowing main taste: bitter and malt cookies. Medium bodied, slightly harsh in the palate, the phenolic sample giving some caramelfeel. Strange - bit crude, and, once more, very un-Belgian.
