Tap at Harry’s in Redwood City. Massive tropical aroma. Slighly hazy tinged yellow with solid white head that slowly fades. Flavor doesn’t quite live up to the robustness of the aroma, but a very solid beer.

From Harry’s. Beautiful aroma that really fell off on the flavor. Became rather roasty and ashy.

Tap at Pita Kabob in Visalia. Not too bad for a pumpkin offering, the spice is slightly restrained. Orange and clear with moderate low off-white head.

On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a clear golden color wit a nice off white head. The aroma has passionfruit, lighter notes of grapefruit and some lightly toasted malt. The flavor has the same grapefruit and big passionfruit. Solid toasted malt with a very creamy, oily mouth feel, but dry on the palate. Medium spicy bitterness. A great West Coast IIPA.

Draft at Kern River last winter. Notes were on my phone along with Think Tank #8 and #9 which I am not adding since it was long ago and no one else added them. Nose is big expresso, very roasty, making me think it might keep some people awake all night. Black with a big heavy lacing cinnamon tan head. Flavor is quad shots of expresso with a little bitterness.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours dark brown with a tan head and orange glints. Aroma is mildly hoppy with malt. Near med body. Flavor is roasty malt with some mixed hop. Not dry, but more bitter by far than the "typical" amber. It’s bitter enough to drink nicely.
