On tap at Pizza Port Bressi Ranch, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, like dank notes and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is aggressive, with piney hops galore upfront, followed by light spiciness and dry biscuity malt. Bold and punchy. Lovely stuff.

On tap at Pizza Port Bressi Ranch, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out fairly subdued piney hops and balanced by dry biscuity malt. Flavour is extremely hoppy, with tons of hop resins, piney hops, and even some booze. A brutal IIPA that works well. Finishes sticky in the hop resin department. Very good.

Shaker pint draft at Pizza Port San Clemente. The pour is mostly clear copper golden, with smallish off white head. The aroma is bright citrus, floral, caramel malt and evident booze. The taste is the citrus floral hop, nice dank to it, balanced well with the sweetness of the caramel malt. The palate is medium bodied, soft natural carbonation, dank, sweet little boozy in the lingering finish.
