Sample at the taproom. Pours a clear copper-orange color with a medium eggshell white head that diminishes steadily to a wispy film. Sparse strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops, fruit and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of piney hops, sweet fruit and toasted malt. The finish is mildly bitter with an fruit punch and hops aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

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.
