Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a white head. Earthy/floral aroma. Strong aroma. Near full bodied. Flavor is floral/earth, phenol., pine and maybe a bit of everything in the world. Dank too. Very hoppy with a sweet caramel underlayer. Quite different. Almost shocking at first. Perseverance is rewarded.

Sample at the Bistro’s DIPA-festival 2015. A bit hazy dark golden with a white head. Fresh and hoppy with mango, pineapple and light cookies. Not that sweet and with a nice bitter finish. Did I say that this one was hoppy? Very nice!
