Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours brown with orange glints. Beige head. Med body. Flavor is dark malt/wheat with a little fruity ester. No hint of banana. Not spicy. So nothing stands out strongly, but the flavor is great. Especially for 4.3 ABV.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Aroma seems resin/fruit. Med body. Flavor is light roasty malt, mixed citrus/fruit/earthy hop. There’s a lot of hop in here, and I’m having difficulty sorting it. Finishes quite bitter and a little earthy. Good drink.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA\. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is lightly fruity/wheaty. Flavor is wheaty, perhaps with a touch of citrus. Not a wit for sure. Maybe a light wheat (that’s what my notes say, really). Finishes mundane.
