Tap@Faction. Pours clear orange with a small off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is super light, a bit of citrus, pine, some caramel. Flavor is malty and sweet - hugely sweet actually. It tastes like unfermented malt extract. Light bitter, not much going on here; I hope just a bad batch. Medium body, bit of a harsh finish. Yuk.

On tap at Steins in Mountain View. Pours an orange with even a hint of amber - darker than expected. Aroma is candi sugar and sweet grain. Almost no head, just a collar of white. Taste is sweet malt, viscous and minimal syrupy. Finishes dry.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy gold with an off-white head. Aroma of light stone fruit and caramel. Full body or nearly. Flavor is quite malty, but there is so much hop that’s not an issue. Finishes caramel and fruit. Lots of Hop. Fairly bitter finish. Extremely tasty.
