Pours amber gold with a white head. Aroma is tropical - suggesting dank. Wow. Med + body. Flavor is tropical, super hoppy, and touches on dank. Fruity and bitter. There’s a suggestion of fruit sugar. Heat is hard to detect. Overall it’s well towards dry and very bitter without being very astringent. Really good stuff. Killer even.

4 oz pour on draft at Claimstake. Without syrup to rate it. Clear golden yellow with off-white head. Aromas of tart funk, light butter. Tastes of lightly tart lemon citrus. Light body with a dry finish. Simple but solid berliner, I’m sure this one would improve with the syrup.

Tap at Capitol Beer. Pours hazy pinkish with a whitish head. Fruity aroma. Med body or better. It’s bitter and fruity. Fairly strong flavors. Starts getting a little less than dry in a bitter fruity finish. Rather amazing.

Growlett shared by Marcus. Pours orange gold with a transient beige head. Aroma is a rather moderate earthy lemongrass. Med minus body. Flavor is rather strong lemongrass/earth. Some bitterness in the finish. Excellent. Seems to develop some ripe pale stone fruit after awhile.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy dark gold with a white head. Aroma of fruit and citrus. Full bodied or nearly. Flavor is fruit, citrus, maybe pine - verging on dank, and more so with time. Quite bitter. There’s an aspect like chewing on citrus zest. Claimstake doesn’t stint on ingredients. It’s really great. Glad I got the beer commemorating the relationship between brewer and provider. It’s special in more ways than one.

32oz growler, big thanks to oRos for sending me this, pours with a lightly hop hazed gold copper body that supports a near white head. The aroma is pulsing with mango and pineapple juiciness, some dank onion and then a modest sweet maltiness in the background. Wow! The aroma is money. The taste delivers a blend of juicy mango and pineapple and tangerines tussling with bitter citrus hops and spicy dank onion notes. I love this and it was a big hit at the tasting. It has just the right amount of depth, richness, juiciness and hop bitterness to create an invigorating balance.

Tap at Cap Beer Fest 2016. Pours dark brown/black with a tan head. Aroma is chocolate plus. Med body or so. Flavor is very chocolate with some smoothie, maybe milky, dark malt. Nice.
