[2/21/15] Draught at Winter Brew Fest 2015 in San Diego. Cloudy orange. Spicy aroma with hibiscus, other spices, and some fruity notes. Sweetish flavor, slightly sourish, spicy, with hibiscus and some fruitiness. Medium-bodied.

Location: 22 oz bottle from State Line, 12/24/14
Aroma: The nose is toffee and caramel, with spice, nutty notes, grapefruit, pine, and resin
Appearance: A dark reddish-brown color with a giant, foamy beige head (boarding on a gusher)
Flavor: It has a solid malty sweetness, nutty, a little spice, and a strong hop bitterness
Palate: The mouthfeel gets a touch sticky, with a medium-plus body, and a fairly dry finish
Overall Impression: The components of a nice beer all seem to be here, but it just doesn't quite come together. It's one of those beers where, on a cooking competition show, the judge would tell the chef that there's a good idea in there somewhere, but the execution wasn't quite up to snuff. There's a good beer in here somewhere, but on the output I only found an okay beer.

Keg at South Beach Bar and Grille, OB, 13/11/14. Hazed reddish orange with a moderate off white covering. Nose is straw, wheat, yeast notes, light fruit, melon, perfume. Taste comprises fruity notes, yeast, spice, wheaten tones. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light herbal rinse. So so wheat.

Bomber from Craft Beer Kings. Pours darkish gold with a fizzy whitish head. Aroma is spicy and floral. Med body or nearly. Flavor is almost like mild chili or cinnamon. With some green leaf aspects. Really quite different. Not quite dry, but far from"malty". Interesting.

Bomber from Craft Beer Kings, aka Plaza Market. Pours dark copper with a huge creamy/fizzy head. Aromas of pine and roasted malt (lots of foam interfering here). Med +body. Flavor is rather nutty roasted malt, and apparently with pine. Its fairly malty, and perhaps just a bit more than I’d like - but there is a lot of hop.

22 oz. bottle, pours an opaque amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma is full of tropical fruits, resinous hops, and a solid caramel malt backbone. Flavour is well-balanced between the hops and malt, with loads of resinous hops, a big whopping caramel malt, and slight fruitiness. Very robust and hoppy, without any astringency. Wonderful IIPA.

This is the Aztec 2nd Anniversary ale. Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours amber/copper with a foamy/frothy beige head. Aroma is fruity/citrusy over some cooked/roasted malt. Full bodied or more so. Flavor is bitingly hoppy. Citrus/floral for the most part - but so much hop it’s difficult to parse. Strangely the hop burn is mild. So there’s a delicate touch here. Heat? Not even down the gullet. Seems to get more floral with time. There’s always some brown sugar, but it leaks away to let the hop back. (joke!). Really good DIPA.
