Tap at Preserve in Winters, CA. Pours hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma is mild citrus/floral? Med minus body. Flavor is light citrus/light malt - not getting much yeast/spice, but maybe. It’s sessionable. Has much nicer flavor than most blondes of my acquaintance, and it finishes mildly bitter. Unlike many blondes of my acquaintance.

Keg at Stone Liberty Station, SD, 13/11/14. Clear golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is caramel malt forward, pine infusion, herbal notes, bitter hops, orange peel. Taste comprises earthy hops, straw, grapefruit, woody notes, bitter hoppage, tangy citrics. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close, a real bitter bastard. Ok DIPA, lacks a bit of balance for me, little 1D on the bitter front.

Klar. Doftar lagom fruktigt åh lite sött. Smakar mycket frukt å tyvär vissa vin toner som går åt Barely Wine hållet. Nära bli en jävligt bra Dipa men har precis blivit övermogen. God jävel.
