From tap at Hopwater Distribution, San Francisco. Aroma is malty with caramel malts, almost a bit buttery, pine resin, hops. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a firm and long bitter finish. Body is medium. Not bad but not really my kind of IIPA, bit too heavy on the buttery malts, bit low on hops.

Crowler to wine glass. Alcohol, fusel, wood grain and american barleywine aroma. Clear copper with almost no head. Flavor is grain alcohol, grass, slight pine. This does not have a lot of TIPA aspects to it but is a burner with lots of alcohol bomb, american strong ale aspects.

Can from the Davis Food Co-op. Pours clear, bright gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is a mix of breadiness, citrus and Saaz. Med body or so. Or not quite. Flavor is bready with citrus - there's some spiciness so I'm sticking with some Saaz. Nice flavor. Pretty dry. Decently bitter. Infinitely better than Bud.

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours very light, but bright gold with a transient white head. Aroma of pale stone and tropical fruits in a sort of Brut IPA way. Near med body. Flavor is dry and bitter. Mostly pine/citrus with touches of orange and green melon. Not the tastiest session IPA I've had, but certainly among the top ranks.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours hazy gold with a tinge that could be pink or orange - white head. Aroma suggests tropically dankness with some citrus. Med body at least. I call fruity dank. Earthy/floral/citrus/green melon. Somewhat less than dry. Moderately bitter - so dank is more a flavor than hop harshness. Very nice flavor!
