From tap at San Clemente. Pours golden orange, clear, and with a lacing white head. Light peach fruity hops aroma. Flavour is solid grapefruit and pineneedle hops flavoured. A slight bit too much with a too vague malt presence to counterbalance this.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours dark brown with a ruby halo and a medium and creamy beige head that bubbles away steadily. Thin sheet of lacing on the glass. Light toasted malt and chocolate aroma. Medium, creamy body with flavors of dark chocolate and malt, as well as touches of coffee and hops. The finish is kind of thin and roasty with a light coffee aftertaste. Above average overall, but seems like it should be better.
