Can from Jane’s. Light golden body, mild haze, white foamy head. Grainy malty aroma, hops come in at taste, but don’t stick around too long. This fades fast, too fast, and most of the taste comes form the grains, kind of bready. Doesn’t taste bad, but kind of weak.

Poured from a 12 oz can with a canning date in early January 2017. Aroma has a moderate grain note with some light floral, perfume-like esters. Light to medium light fruit esters as well. Pours a slightly hazy, yellow gold with a medium large, frothy, white head that recedes to a thin film that lingers on the edges for a bit. Light lacing and no legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a medium light bitterness. Medium light esters, floral, perfume and light fruity notes. Hints of floral and grassy hops. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent kolsch but it’s a bit too malty and the ester notes are too strong. The hops and bitterness are a bit light too. Easy drinking though.

Poured from a 12 oz can with a Jan. 20th canning date. Aroma is very hop forward, but not super fruity. Lots of citrus with some herbal, floral notes. Some light pine resin and faint tropical fruit. Light cracker malt notes in the background. Pours a fairly clear, yellow gold with a medium sized, medium thick, rocky, white head that shows decent retention as it recedes to the edges. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with some light cracker malt notes. Medium high bitterness with moderately high hop flavors. Hop flavors have some medium light citrus and light pine resin notes. Moderate spicy, herbal and floral notes as well. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an easy to drink IPA, but the hop profile is definitely far from my preferred. The mouthfeel is a bit light as well. Malt profile is nice and light, supporting the hops from the background.

Tap at SF Beer Week Opening Gala. Pours clear golden. Aroma: Grassy hops, yet rather pale malty altogether. Quite decent in aroma actually. Light body, pale backbone, still some healthy hops on tops. Rather refreshing. Super drinkable.
