Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours translucent gold with a decent foamy white head. Lots of hop resin/pine maybe even spruce for aroma. Med body at least. Flavor doesn't bite harshly, but it's pretty strong. Malt is discernible but well held down. Hop resin/pine is the main thing. Zesty grapefruit. Lots of other stuff I can't parse. Not the best I've ever had, but it's really pretty good.

Poured up on tap at tipsy where it exhibits a clear gold colored body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up a fruity bouquet of apples, figs and limes. Interesting. The taste delivers a blend of bready malts, juicy to tangy to bitter lime like hoppiness. To midway the carbonation grows revealing more fruity esters and an edge of yeasty esters. How is it Karl Strauss can't churn out a proper Kölsch? This is muddled and estery and lacks a clean hop profile and crispness of proper Köln Kölsch.

Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. White wine aroma White wine and oak flavor with caramel and wheat. Medium bodied. White wine and oak linger with caramel, wheat, and light summer fruit.

On tap at TapRoom Beer Co, pours a hazy dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma is old school, with big resinous hops, sweet bready malt and a little pine. Flavour has resinous hops, some pine, a bit of sweatiness, and bready malt. Tastes maybe a touch old, or else just not the most vibrant hops. Good balance and drinkable enough, just not the freshest or most vibrant IIPA. Good.
