On tap at Harry’s in San Leandro. Holy crow, this thing was crushable for a 9.5% beer! Dangerous stuff. It pours a pale yellow color with a frothy white head. The aroma is fresh with big grapefruit, mango, pineapple, passionfruit and spice. The flavor is clean and easy drinking with more grapefruit, pineapple, peach and light flowery spice. Medium bitterness. Dry and bready in the finish. Absolutely delicious, and a fantastic showcase of Citra at it’s best.

On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a deep red color with a small head. The aroma has nice sour cherries and raspberries. Light funk. The flavor is fresh and jammy with lots of cherry, raspberries and hints of blackberries. Nice tartness and mild funk. Light bodied, but jammy. This one is all about the fruit with great sweet and sour balance. Very tasty.

Bottle thanks to Nolen - Gold Wax top == Bourbon Barrel Aged. Pours opaque black small brown creamy head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is bourbon forward, cocoa, vanilla, coconut. Fully sweet, medium bitter, rich but gets a bit harsh as you drink it. Full body. Hot as hell.

On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a light golden color with an off white head. The aroma has some soft maltiness, peach and a little grapefruit. The flavor is soft with pale malt, hints of honey, orange and peach. It has a velvety smooth mouth feel with low bitterness. Background notes of tropical fruit. Pretty juicy on the palate. Thick, but not too malty. Very good and easy to drink, especially considering the high ABV.

On draught at Ale Arsenal. Pours a moderately hazy yellow with medium white head that retains throughout. Juicy tropical hops and cut nicely by the subtle coconut. Moderate low bitterness makes for a pleasant beer all around.
