On tap; glad to finally get around to rating. Aroma has a nice sweet graininess to it with some white bread notes. A light floral hoppiness with a bit of a spicy woodsy note as well. Pours a slightly hazy yellow straw color with a thick, creamy white head that exhibits nice retention as it slowly recedes. High lacing and small legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with a nice grainy character and some bready notes. Medium light bitterness with some floral hop notes and a bit of a spicy hop character. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very nice beer and I often go for this at bars but have never gotten around to rating. Easy drinking with great malt and hop balance.

Sample at Sour Sunday 2015. Almost black with a small head. Aroma and taste of roasted malt, sour grapes, ash and dark bitter chocolate. The finish was bitter and fairly sour.

Tap. Pours hazy amber, small beige head, creamy, nice lacing. Aroma is not strong, herbal, spruce tips, a bit of pot. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter. A bit harsh, odd herbal note. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel.

Draft @ Toroando, SF. Was it fair that I sampled a Fresh Squeezed right before this? No, it was not. This beer has a weak herbal hop note and lots of caramel/ sweet malt. Reminds me of a English IPA or bitter. The malt is the main character and really not much in the way of bitterness or real hop flavors. Overly sweet, tastes like an old American Pale ale that has sat around to long. I will not remember this.
