Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours amber gold with a white head. Aroma seems chocolate. Med body. Flavor is sort of chocolate malt, but not the black malt type. It’s mildly sweet, and rather chocolate. Delicate.

On tap in The Crow Bar, Orange County, 11th July 2014. Dull golden amber body with thinning white top. A good blend of malty sweetness and hop bitterness. Came cold but it got interesting as it warmed in the glass. Citrus notes from the hops with a caramel feel from the malts. Medium bodied with the alcohol well hidden throughout.
