Pint can pours with a crystal clear gold colored body that supports a modestly loose white head of foam. The aroma pulses with peach and berries as well as grapefruit. The taste delivers a firm blow of bitter grapefruit as well as peach and berry fruity hoppiness. To midway the bitter grapefruit sensation grows to a near robust level of hoppy goodness heading into a crisp sweetness free finish. Yes.

So.... A CDA walks into a bar and orders a CDA... Um. Pint can pours with a neat dark mahogany colored body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma comes out of the bar firing on all cylinders as I get moderately roasted malts ratcheting right up to highly roasted to burnt malts as well as murmurs of the vague sort of herbal, woody, spicy and fruity hoppiness (gotta dig deep for that one). The taste is largely roasted malt forward with a sliver of nuttiness heading quickly into roasted malts, dark roasted malts and some burnt malts. Overall the malts keep the hops at bay for the most part. I get echoes of spicy to piney to woody to vaguely fruity hops here and there. So, this could be a little better balanced with a bigger hop presence but it is a damn tasty beer just like this.

Pours a moderately hazy, pale lemon yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is pretty muted, but has some citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor follows and is more pronounced, with an astringent finish. Mouthfeel seems a bit thin for the ABV. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish. Not my favorite.

Last beer on my second (and last) flight at the Green Cheek Taproom in Costa Mesa: 9th August 2025. Almost black in colour, beige crust on top. Coffee, chocolate and oats fight for dominance in the nose and flavour stakes, chocolate won on the day.

On a flight at the Green Cheek Taproom in Costa Mesa, 9th August 2025. Golden body, white crust. Tropical fruit aroma and taste, some cactus hints maybe. Pleasant enough.

On a flight in the Green Cheek Taproom, Costa Mesa; 9th August 2025. Clean golden pour, white head. Nice, strong IPA with plenty going on. Citrus fruits too the fore and semi bitter throughout.
