Tap at Cowboy Brews and Bites. Hazy golden with white head. Looks like a puree. Taste is overly slanted to the malt, without typical hop support.

On draught at Cowboy Brews and Bites in Half Moon Bay. Hazy orange with full white head. Taste and aroma are a mix of cloying malt, pine and funk. Could have attenuated more of the sugar out to clean this up a little.

On tap at the 2016 SF beer week opening gala. It pours a dark brown color with a light tan head. The aroma is full with dark fruit figs and dates. Lightly tart and leathery. The flavor has tobacco juice, figs, sour cherries, hints of red wine vinegar and oak. A little black roasted malt at the finish. Tasty.

On tap at the 2016 SF beer week opening gala. It pours an orange/gold color with an off white head. The aroma as a lot of orange, pine, dank and onion. Pretty potent. The flavor is the same. Mostly orange fruit with some hints of spicy onion. Strong bitterness. I was expecting something fruitier. Pretty solid anyway.

On tap at the 2016 SF beer week opening gala. It pours a very light salmon color with a small fizzy white head. The aroma is very lactic and lemony with a little soft funk. The flavor is a nice mix of pear, raspberry, lemon and orange. Very fruity with subdued lactic tartness and just a hint of salt. Very light on the palate and fizzy. Well done.

Bottle from WF in Redwood City. Aroma is restrained all around. Slight lemon, grapefruit peel. Clear copper-orange and moderate white head. A little oxidized? Malt arrives as it warmed to show biscuit and white bread. Low attenuation leaves a stickiness.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange, small off-white head, decent lacing. Aroma is really buttery, some notes of peach and dank hops, melon, but really dominated by butter. Flavor is also buttery, medium sweet, medium bitter, stonefruit and melons, along with a heavy helping of movie popcorn. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel.
