Draft at Brewpub. As they walked up with the glass the tartness jumped out at me. The nose was tartness, woody wine, spicy notes, fruity sweetness, and some light funkiness. Hazy yellow with a small pale yellow head. Flavor was tart, corriander, oak, caramelly sweetness, and some chardonnay notes. Quite excellent! loved the stuff. I will have to get back this weekend for more!

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a strong, white head. Grapefruit aroma with hints of caramel malts. Sweet beginning with lightly sweet, earthy malts followed by pine and resin hops. Malt profile also smacks of caramel and biscuit. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Finishes fairly sweet with dry, earthy bitterness. Very good beer with superb balance.

Absolutely fantastic beer. I had a few glasses of this beer and was just blown away. I really didn’t expect it to live up to the hype, but I was happily wrong on that score. It has easily the best Citra flavor in the 10 or so Citra IPAs I’ve tried so far. It was all very bright floral and tangerine notes. The beer is quite well made. Just enough light malt sweetness to carry the hops. Finishes mildly dry and refreshing. Little to no harshly bitter notes. This is a very easy beer to like and makes me want to make the long drive down to Kernville.

Growler thanks to billshmeinke. Pours with a huge white head that slowly starts to recede over a hazy golden body. The head leaves behind excellent lacing, as does each sip. Nose is huge, citrus, tropical fruits, mango, papaya, lychee. Taste is papaya, mango, strawberry, tones of fruit with a bit of caramel on the finish. Well attenuated, medium carbonation. A great DIPA!!!

Bottle thanks to Jake65. Pours out golden yellow topped with a small cream head. Aroma is of bread, spice, and some rich malts. Taste more of the spice, caramel, light fruit notes, and light bitterness.
