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.

16 oz. can. Thanks, Joe! Pours a hazy, light orange color, with a small, fizzy, white head. The aroma is orange juice, cloves, green banana, hay, and lime. Sweet and citrusy, with a light tart flavor and some good yeasty notes. Light body, with a crisp, lightly acidic palate. This is a nice, fruity beer.

GBBF Day 2. Can. Hazy orange gold beer, good cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy m sweetish. Dominant flavour by far is floral tangerine. Little tangerine peel. Light finish. Drinks well under the abv and is pleasingly tangerine but needs something else going on. Interesting beer.

16 oz can from Boise Co-op. Hazy, cloudy yellow, foamy head. Fruity aroma, citrus, peaches. Taste is super juicy, huge fruity notes capped with a healthy dose of grapefruit peel.

16 oz. can, from Joe! Pours black, with a small, bubbly, tan head. The aroma is mild coffee, anise, cardamom, and strong hazelnuts. Sweet and roasty, with a strange bitterness. Medium body, with a smooth, lightly acidic palate. This is a fairly tasty porter.
