Draught at Lucky Baldwins, Pasadena, California. Cloudy golden, small head. Light banana aroma. Medium sweet with light-medium body. A light, weird root beer flavour sets in. Low bitterness. A drinkable but somewhat peculiar hefeweizen.

Draught at Lucky Baldwins, Pasadena, California. Hazy golden, small head. Light grapefruit aroma. Dry, clean and crisp. light bodied - perhaps too much so. Quite hoppy with medium bitterness. A very drinkable summer beer, but the light body in combination with clean mouthfeel makes it a bit sharp. Scaling their regular IPA down didn’t really work all that well, but it’s stil a worthwile effort.

Clear golden, lively, rich head. Rich gingery aroma. Sweet and fruity and rounded, fairly soft mouthfeel. Rich and mouthfilling with herbal notes and drier salty finish.

Sampled draught at Lucky Baldwin, Pasadena.
Hazy deep golden. Grapefruity hop aroma. The deeply aromatic hops really dominate this beer, but there is sufficient malt to balance it. The mouthfeel is soft, and the finish has lingering orangey hop bitternes. Well made typical US west Coast IPA.
