Draft pour pint at Sammy's Original. A darker, cloudy reddish pour, rocky foam head. A visciously sweet caramel malt bomb here, though I can't discredit a red for being malty. Just a bit too sweet for my taste. Long lingering caramel and berry hinted finish. Alright brew for me.

Draught in some bar in Fullerton: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is lightly fruity; lemon lime mostly. Taste is dry, fruity, and lightly bitter. Solid brut. Some malt in the finish that gives it a little more sweetness.

Got in a trade with RaulMondesi. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/10/2018. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, mango, watermelon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and light-moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, mango, watermelon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, mango, watermelon, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. No warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this a very nice Brut IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, easy, and fairly crisp/clean to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Great El Dorado, Centennial, Amarillo profile. Very vibrant and fairly juicy/dank/earthy hop complexity; nice solid pale malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness from crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Hazy blond with thin head. Quite lightly flavoured with sweet grains. The yeast adds a light spiciness and a sweetness too.
