On tap at Father’s Office. Pours with a clear golden hued body and a lasting white head. Great hoppy aroma that notes lots of fruity, spicy, herbal and slightly dank hop aromas. A bit of caramel and light breadiness. Flavors are bitter, fruity and pretty clean overall. Light dankness. Really enjoyable. Lasting bitterness, bready malt, light alcohol. Medium carbonation with a dry finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours with a clear golden yellow body with a somewhat thin, frothy white head that leaves great lace. Aromas of citrus, light tropical fruit notes, a bit dank, grassy and herbaceous. Very light malt sweetness and a bit of spice. Mostly clean ester wise. Flavors are dry with a good bitter balance. Light crackery, bready and lightly earthy malt notes. Floral, grassy, dank, gooseberry and tropical fruit hop notes. Lingering bitterness. Lively carbonation, dry finish, quenching and sessionable with a fulfilling bitterness. Great XPA.

On tap at BAM Fest. Pours with a lightly hazed orange hued body with a small white head. Aromas are extremely dank, fruity, citrusy, orange and a bit grassy. Minimal malt character. Flavors are very fruity, dank, citrus, grassy. Fresh and awesome. Grapefruit and light tropical fruit edges. Very nicely bitter balance without being overbearing in the slightest. Lively bubbles, dry, with a very light caramel character. Really good!

On tap at the brewpub. Pours with a deep brown, near black body with a tan head. Aromas of tropical fruit, juicy, rye, roast and minimal esters. Flavors are rye, spicy, light roast. Huge amarillo/tropical fruit notes. A touch more roast than I like in the style (but I like very minimal roast). I prefer this to the Pizza Port San Clemente version. Medium to light esters, bitter balance with light resin and roast in the finish. Really nice!

On tap (multiple glasses) at Blue Palms 3rd Anniversary. Pours with a clear golden hued body and a small white head that lasts for the duration. Huge citrusy notes, dank, tropical fruit, grapefruit, resin. Minimal malt aromas. Flavors are dank, papaya, citrus, and tropical fruit. All about the hops. Bitter balance, floral, bursting with flavor and aroma. Lively bubbles, dry with a medium lingering bitterness. Very tasty! Second batch is even an improvement on the first!
