Growler from Kern River this afternoon. Nose is what i call resinous ivy with sweet notes of mango and tropical mixes. Lightly hazy yellow with a big creamy, heavy lacing pale yellow head. Flavor is very tropical fruity with resin and light bitterness. Nice new addition to Kyle’s repertoire.

On tap at Gourmet Haus as part of SF Beer Week. Restrained citrus and strong pine. Pours a clear brushed gold with moderate white head. Flavor is pine and earth, with slight tropical fruit. Medium thin mouthfeel and moderate high bitterness for the mouthfeel. A little hard to figure this one out. Rerated at GHS in August 2016. Great beer. Score reflects a midpoint.
