Draft taster at Brixie’s. Amber pour with a bit of haze and a light layer of foam. The smell is strong on grapefruit from the hops. Taste is a regular hoppy IPA, a little less feisty than most hop bombs. Instead, there’s lots more malt support. Easy to drink, since the alcohol is just a touch below the usual DIPA level.

Tap at Psych Fest Downstairs bar place. Clean, fresh, doughy, really hits the spot. Medium to full bodied. Big, steady, foamy head. Bready, but filtered and quite clean too. Classic, well done.

Draft: Poured a pale yellow color ale with a medium white foamy head. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with some cereal notes and light grassy notes is quiet nice. Taste is a nice mix of citrusy hops notes with some grassy notes and light cereal notes. Body is about average fir style with good carbonation. Nice enjoyable beer with great refreshing factor thought hops extraction level could be higher.

Draft: Poured a pale blonde color ale with a light foamy head. Aroma of citrusy and light tropical hops is offset by some cereal malt notes. Taste is a mix of cereal notes with some light citrusy hops with light floral fruity notes. Body is average with good carbonation. Not bad but appears they are not getting as much flavours form Citra as I had expected.
