Frm a 650ml bottle on 13/7/2014 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a clearish golden with a big white head. Hasa light fruity aroma with a hint of yeast. Flavour wise, it’s very fruity (orange and lemon) and features a relatively assertive, zesty, quite refreshing bitterness. Has a slightly creamy texture and medium carbonation. A nice golden ale.

Bottle in a hotel room in SF, February 2014. (my first one from this brewery) Dark amber with a small head. Aroma and taste of fruit, pine, malt and some hay. A bit anonymous and quite sweet. Drinkable but not that interesting.

bottle on 8/18/13 from a run down liquor store in Crescent City, CA - Pours dark copper-amber with minimal head. The aroma has caramel malt and maybe a little citrus. It tastes sweet at first with toasty malt. Moderate, green hops bitterness kicks in. It’s medium bodied with lingering bitterness. There’s something different about it compared to most IPAs but it’s alright.

Bomber from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear copper with a slight white head. Aroma is floral hop with some caramel backing. It’s almost chewy. It almost suggests cola. Then it settles down to slightly burning hop over adequate caramel. The question: what hop? Not citrus. Maybe floral. Seems earthy. And the burn increases. Burps good too.
