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.
