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.

Can, from Cambridge Wine & Spirits. Pours cloudy golden with large foamy whitish head, faint citrus aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter citrus peel-mango taste, thin body, long finish. Solid IPA, not great though.

16oz can pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is a hazy version of pliney the younger, big sweet malts and some fruit hops. Taste is more of the nice sweet malts hazy younger you don't pick up that 14% wow.

From can to pint glass. Hazy yellow with white head that fades quickly. Moderate amount of fruit on the nose. Flavor is titled to the malt side and not as much hop fruit showing. More like a pale ale than a NE IPA.

On tap at the BNA party in Providence. Hazy deep golden color with a thin white head. Earthy grassy juicy with a ton of mango aroma and flavor. Not too shabby.

Tap @ Alpha Beta Coffee Club, Jiyugaoka. Pours nice cloudy golden, some white foam on the top, leaving lacings. Fruity nose, quite soft and hops are feeling beautifully fresh. Taste has good hop bitterness, bursting with freshness, not that much NEIPA character but more like a decent West Coast IPA that just happens to be a bit cloudy. Good tropical IPA, tasty.

Can from Corti Bros. Labled A Fruitful World with Strawberry, Guava, Tangerine and Pineapple at 5.2% ABV. Pours hazy gold with a white head that didn't last forever. Refreshing tropical fruit aroma - mildly tart. Near medium body. Guava dominates. It's tart and dry. Wheat pops up as the fruit drains away. Tasty stuff. Summer ale.
