Tap at the Rubicon. Pours hazy amber gold - with a creamy beige head you can draw pictures in - and it laced too. Med body at least. Aroma is stone fruit and citrus. Flavor is yeast/spice, peach/apricot/orange, a oak note, and just the least, possibly imaginary, sour intrusion. Between the oak and that sour I can also imagine a light brett. Probably not tho. Heat is no issue here, and this is arguably a complex ale.

Pittsburgh California? Really?? Aroma of pine. Taste is strong pine resin. Straightforward stuff. Not bad.

On tap at City Beer. Pours with a near black body with a lasting, foamy, tan head. Aromas are roasty, floral, hoppy, and spicy. Bready and chocolate malt notes last as well. Flavors are bready, chocolate, medium dry, caramel, and spicy. Minimal to barely medium bitterness but what seems like a decently spicy hoppy aroma and flavor profile. Lively bubbles, dry, very mild alcohol (well hidden even), and pretty smooth.

On tap at City Beer. Pours with a lightly hazed golden body with a white head that lasts. Aromas show a lot of phenol, spicy, earthy and estery. Mild candy sugar and vanilla. Flavors are lightly tart, fruity, dried apricot, white wine, tangerine and floral alcohol. Dry and floral through the finish. Mildly warming, very, very mild barrel character with fuller carbonation. Decently solid BGSA.

Tap at the Rubicon. Pours clear copper. Aroma seems fruit, citrus and pine. Med body. Flavor is a mix of hops and something unusual reminding me of burnt rubber. Finishes bitter. Somehow the odd flavor is working rather well.

Tap at the Rubicon. Pours darkly garnet with a creamy beige head. Light citrus aroma. Near med body. Flavor is roast malt with some medium dark fruit and enough hop to keep the malt pretty much under control. Main flavor is roast malt, but it’s smooth, not harsh. It end’s more bitter than not.

On tap. Pours with a clear copper hued body with a large, fluffy, off-white head. Aromas are huge pine, tropical fruit and lightly dank hop notes. Bready and biscuity with a bit of crystal for the malt aroma. Flavors are tropical and very dank. Pungent and fruity, pine, papaya and some noticeable alcohol. Strong and distinctive CTZ hop flavors. Medium to lively bubbles. A bit of a harsh, grassy dry hop note to the flavors. Dry with a medium body. Good! Apparently it has columbus, warrior and citra in it. I liked it quite a bit more than the twin.
