Bomber from the Woodland Nugget. Pours light orange amber with a foamy white head. Aroma seems citrus and light stone fruit. Med + body, or nearly. Flavor is very hoppy. Citrus, pine, ? Not getting much caramel. I think it needs a little more malt to support the hop. Just sayin’. Maybe, just maybe, I’m getting something like blackberry and peach buried way down. Interest, fruity bitter finish.

This beer is a slightly hazy orange-gold color with a medium foamy white head that dissipates gradually to a film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of citrusy hops, toasted malt and a touch of spice. The finish is moderately bitter with a grapefruit and hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle. Pours crystal clear orange, small white head that dissipates fairly quickly and leaves decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is citrus, orange, grapefruit, pine, perhaps a touch of caramel. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter, a bit of a zesty bitter finish from the orange peel, I guess. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Not bad, nothing stellar tho.

On tap at City Beer SF, February 2014. (my first one from this brewery) Slightly hazy dark golden with a small white head. On the sweet side with hops, grapefruit, citrus and grass. Also with notes of malt. Fresh but with a fairly thin body. An ok one.

Bottle - tasting @ Willows. Pours hazy chestnut brown with a small tan head and decent lacing. Aroma is nutty, caramel, toffee. Flavor has some oak, but really malty, nutty. Medium sweet, light bitterness. Medium body. Above average for a brown ale.

Bottle - tasting @ Willows Market. Pours hazy golden with a medium white head and nice lacing. Aroma is wheat, lemon, bit o funk, some spices. Flavor is light sweet, honey, interesting. Spices are quite light leaving just notes of their presence rather than beating you over the head. Light body and very champagnelike carbonation. Interesting beer.

Bottle - tasting at Willows Market. Pours clear golden with a small white head and decent lacing. Aroma is yeasty, fruity esters, hay, honey. Flavor is light sweet and little bitterness with a dry finish. Light body, prickly carbonation, little sense of the ABV. I enjoyed this one - simple, but nice
