On tap at Faction. It pours a clear pale golden color with a white head. The aroma is lightly oniony and earthy with some tropical notes. The flavor is dry, earthy and oniony with hints of lemon/lime. Medium to strong earthy bitterness. Lemon rind lingers in the finish. Pretty nice.

On tap at Faction. It pours a very cloudy yellow color with a white head. The aroma is very Witbier-like with creamy wheat, lemon, coriander and orange. Doesnβt seem over spiced. The flavor is floral with a little orange peel and coriander. Heavily spiced in the flavor, but not to the point of astringency. Creamy on the palate yet light bodied. Spicy bitter finish. A very potently flavored Witbier.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours dark brown/black with a dark tan head. Aroma is coffee! Med + body. Flavor is coffee over smooth dark toasty malt. Finishes earthy bitter, but not entirely dry. Good stuff, but not extremely exciting.

Orange with a white head. Juicy and tropical hops with a decent backbone of caramel malt. Not at all a hop bomb. Finished with medium bitterness. A flavor first pale ale full of tropical goodness. Very nice.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is light fruit and hint of citrus. Med body. Flavor is light stone fruit - citrus - something sweet pops up. Nice flavors, not too bitter - by my standards. Gets a pine and malt direction towards the finish - very subtle.
