Description
Founded in 2018, Ogopogo Brewing is San Gabriel’s first craft brewery. Brewer-Owners Jason De La Torre and Ryan Edell are veterans of the Southern California brewing industry (Mason Aleworks, Saint Archer, Golden Road), and have a fondness for folklore, mythology, and palindromes. The beers are named for legendary creatures and figures from around the world, with the style of beer and/or ingredients used often linked through the country of origin. In their first year of operations, they were awarded a silver medal in the Belgian Witbier category at the 2019 Great American Beer Festival for Boeman Belgian White Ale and received the same medal again in 2020.

10oz draft pour exhibits a murky glowing dirty gold colored body that supports a thin white ring of bubbles. The aroma offers up plenty of coconut bleeding into mango, pineapple and then a blunt woody note. The taste delivers an interesting blend of coconut and mango soft sweet tropical notes flowing into a thin dry woodiness. Another sip reveals more sweetened pineapple amidst the coconut woody nuttiness. Pretty fun beer that remains smooth and drinkable thanks to the balance achieved here.

44 cl can @ Armonkallio. Thanks Timo & Jan! Aroma is rather mild with chocolate and alcohol. Flavour has floury tones, alcohol, chocolate. Finishes with more stinging alcohol. A bit too boozy.

Light florals and a little citrus. Golden pour with good head and lacing. Light sweet finish but great balance all around. Breezy summer beer. Can.

4 oz. pour on tap at Stout Burgers & Beers, Studio City. It's a clear golden brown with light sparkle, ring of off-white head and nice lacing. Aroma is mix of moderately strong dank pine and fruit. Taste mirrors aroma exactly. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with low bitterness. Overall, a bit thin but alcohol is well covered, good strength and flavor emphasized over bitterness that goes down smooth. Good.

5oz pour on a flight at The Brewhouse, San Juan Capistrano on 1st February 2022. Hazy dull yellow body, white blanket of bubbles on top. Tropical nose and taste with the coconut coming through the fruitiness nicely (if you like coconut). A little sweet overall, but a decent fruit cocktail with a pleasing alcoholic kick within.
