On tap at Harry’s Hofbrau. Aroma has a murky, dirty chocolate dishwater aspect. Very odd. Moderate low smoke. Slightly hazy copper with full, dense head of small bubbles. Flavor is subdued in front palate, and the back half shows a powdered chocolate. Sweet lactose lingers late. Love this brewery...but this one lost the plot.

Old tasting notes from the summer. This was on tap at Gourmet Haus. Hazy with sustained white head. Grapefruit offers a very solid approach to this style, and gets it right where a lot of this style loses the plot and becomes puckering and undrinkable. Faint saltiness balances well with the citrus for a very pleasant and easy to drink beer. The ABV is completely hidden in this pleasurable beer.

From notes in the Spring. Another solid offering from Fieldwork. They really nail every beer. Golden orange with full, fluffy head. Giant taste of melon with slight citrus. Get a little Maris Otter here, which provides nice support.

On tap at Harry’s Hofbrua. Pours a very hazy yellow with full white head. Showcase of tropical fruit and juice. The alcohol is hidden very well in this. Holds up nicely without too much residual sweetness from the malt. Tasty.

On tap at City Pub in Redwood City. Slightly hazy orange with off white head. Aroma is heavy towards the pine, with slight fruit. Flavor has lemon, mango and orange. The hops lean towards bittering, however, which is a little unlike their other offerings. Detracts from some of the subtle qualities.
