Tap at Fieldwork. A nice ode to one of my favorite people in the beer biz! It pours a clear yellow gold color with a small white head. The aroma is huge with ruby red grapefruit and not much else. Maybe a little citrus peel? Grapefruit bomb on the nose. The flavor is the same. Lots of grapefruit with a little citrus peel and hints of flowery bitterness. Low pale malts in the background. A touch of honey. Low medium bitterness. Medium bodied. Tastes like a grapefruit beer.

On tap at Fieldwork. It pours a yellow/gold color with a small white head. The aroma is strong with spice and grass with some lighter citrus grapefruit and lime notes. Crackery pale malts in the background. The flavor has lots of citrus grapefruit and orange with a spicy bitter kick in the finish. The bitterness is strong, but supports the beer well with some added complexity. Pretty dry, medium body with a little bready malt. It says it has crystal malt, but finishes dry. Crushable. Maybe one of my favorite beers from them yet.

On draught at Harry’s Hofbrau in Redwood City. Seems a little all over the place, but does come together at the end. Loads of dank, citrus and pine, with a moderate sourness.

On tap at Harry’s Hofbrau. Another solid production from a great brewer - aromas of pine, resin, and moderate citrus in the lead. Hazy light orange with a full white head and patterns down the side nicely. Taste is grapefruit and pine mixed well with caramel malt. The high bitterness works throughout the beer to show its presence.

Flavour is composed of spicy woody pine, resin, pale malts, pine wood. Palate is crisp. Some wood tannin, highish carbonation, nice semi drying finish. Pretty good. Assertive clean pear hey citrus bitterness.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours bright gold with a white head. Aroma is a mild "cidery" sour. Med body or so. It is tart and sour, making me think citrus and passing dank before my thoughts - tho I’m not sure it’s dank. It is hard to parse the flavor components; tasty; a rather smooth sour.

On draft at Tap 25. It pours a very dark mahogany brown color with a disappearing head. The aroma is off the charts with super sweet pancake breakfast. Maple syrup bomb with some pecan pie, caramel and background notes of bourbon. The flavor is the same with a bit more of the warming bourbon, but mostly all maple syrup soaked pancakes, pecan pie and hints of wood along with the bourbon in the finish. Maybe a touch of cola as well. Very thick syrupy body. A fun beer, but the sweetness is overpowering. A few ounces as a dessert beer is all I can recommend.

On tap at Fieldwork. It pours a nice bright pale golden color with a white head. The aroma is kinda dank and grassy with some tropical fruit and hints of onion. The flavor is the same. Dank, earthy with hints of citrus and mango. Strong dank bitterness. Overall good, but very similar to all their other pale ales.

On tap at Fieldwork. It pours a super pale hazy yellow color, like pulpy lime juice. The aroma has lots of lime, a little lavender, florals and salt. The flavor is the same. Juicy tart lime, lavender and low to medium saltiness. A little wheat in the finish with a hint of bath soap. Crisp and citrusy with great balance of tartness and salt. Tasty!
