On draft at Fieldwork. It pours a bright clear light golden color with a white head. The aroma has tropical fruit with hints of dank and earth. Mango, papaya, lime and earthiness stand out. The flavor is really nice as well with more citrusy grapefruit, white grape, a little mango and orange and light grassy bitterness. Snappy and crisp on the palate. Really good.

Tap at The Office. Strong chocolate on both aroma and flavor. Flavor is more like a powdered chocolate mix. Chili stands out to mix with the chocolate. Opaque with huge brown head.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy gold with no real head. Aroma is sort of Jolly Rancher. Med body nearly. Flavor is salty Jolly Rancher. Maybe a citrus touch. More salt than melon, so could be worse. Any Brett must have been salted away.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma of citrus, stone fruit, and maybe a hint of pineapple. Med body. Flavor more or less matches aroma, but there’s a nice dank hint/note. It’s not extremely bitter, but bitter enough. IMHO it’s really tasty.

On tap at Fieldwork. It pours a dark brown color with a light brown head. The aroma is smoky and oaked. Lots of dry oak with some background smoke, cocoa and coffee. Nice. The flavor has intense dry oak with good sweet figgy dark fruit, hints of brown sugar, vanilla, cocoa and cream. Finishes sweet but with a pleasant rum-like note. Very smooth, creamy and sweet but not too cloying or syrupy. A treat.

On tap at Fieldwork. It pours mostly clear bright yellow with a small white head. The aroma is strong with melon, grass and lemon peel. The flavor is tarty, lemony, a little earthy and grassy with light parsley notes. A bit vegetal and "green" from the huge amount of hop material against a light malt backbone. Nice acidity on the palate. Mouthwatering and refreshing lactic finish. Pretty good, but the plant material in the flavor throws it off just a tad.
