Description
It all started with a neighbor sharing a homemade beer. Liz saw how excited Jamil was and bought him a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas. Jamil became obsessed with brewing the perfect beer and became a homebrew legend in the process by winning a first-place medal in every known beer, mead, and cider style category. Eventually, his passion to brew was too strong and Jamil and Liz decided to take the plunge and open Heretic Brewing Company.
We started by sharing a building with another brewery in 2011, but we always brewed our beer ourselves. Within the first six months we realized there wasn’t enough space for two breweries in one building, so we began the search for a new place. By 2013, we had built a new, modern brewery in the wonderful city of Fairfield, California and moved all our operations there, including our new distillery.

Pours with excellent big foam and a nice deep clear copper body. The aroma is a well constructed mélange of malt and sharp hops, good pungency coming up. Flavour is plenty of chunky malt and a fair amount of piney hops. Full mouthfeel. This punches way above its weight in terms of flavour for such a low alcohol brew. Very nice.

355 ml can, from Vinmonopolet Verksgt., Stavanger. ABV is 6.5%. Yellow colour, only slightly hazy. Small white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, citrus and spruce. Refreshing flavour with the same elements. A moderate malty and fruity sweetness too, not too much.

Can (01/09/20) from Brewcraft at home during quarantine. Pours golden with white head with an off-putting amount of floating particulate. Aroma is not too strong - pine resin and some citrus. Not standard hazy in aroma or taste (or appearance) but not in a bad way (except appearance). Taste is straightforward piney citrus IPA. Not bad at all but can’t get over all the floating bits.

Sample at GABF 10/05/2019, thanks to kathryneels for assistance with note-taking. Hazy orange color with a medium white head that recedes gradually to a film. Strings of lace. Aroma of herbal hop, fruit and malt. Medium body with flavors of tropical fruit, dank hops and malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Black & green can. A little apprehensive about this one considering the label. Smell is mild hops on top of foam. Eye is slight haze on pale with a pretty good foaming head. Taste is what else but big fat rubbery IPA mixed with pine tar and then ground up with green bitter grapefruit rinds. Bitter dregs, bitter dregs, bitter dregs, whew.

Can. Dark ruby red body with a beige head. Aroma and taste of toffee, orange zest and pine mostly but has notes of figs, raisins and cloves too. Dangerously easy to drink. Very nice.
