12oz can pours with a slightly hazy deep gold body that support a near white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up wheat, slight banana and maybe apple esters and then faint dry wheat and cracker at the end of the draw. The taste starts subtle and fairly smooth and then quickly picks up the carbonation enhanced banana sweetness and vague spiciness. Toward the finish a thin cracker sort of grainy malt sensation is noticed to help add a bit of balance to the experience. Decent.

29th May 2015: US pint on-tap in The Back Bay Tavern (Whole Foods, Newport Beach). Bright and clean looking golden pour, on top nothing, not even the usual fast fading white wispy head most lagers have. Odourless and almost tasteless. Refreshing and fizzy, but a big disappointment to be honest. Could have been any number of similar beers from anywhere in the world.

Can, 5.5% ABV. Brown with a beige head that soon fades to a coat. Aroma of brown sugar, smoke (more traditional, huh) mocha, spices. Smells a bit unfinished really. And there’s a bit of that in the taste too, along with some syrupy chocolate (although the body is a bit on the watery side),kola and other nuts, weeds. Lowish bitterness still cuts through and it leans a little towards dry but cloying and messy. Poor.

From a 355ml can on 26/5/2015. Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a bright white medium head. Has a pleasant troical/stone fruit hop aroma. Flavour wise, there’s lots of peach, apricot and passionfruit. There’s not a lot of malt evident, and it’s not particularly sweet, with the grapefruity bitterness ultimately holding sway. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Solid.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours ruddy amber with a beige head. Aroma is pretty piney! Med + body. Flavor is hop forward - quite pine, a little earthy. The roasty malt backbone is detectable. But this is hoppy stuff. Finishes both malty and bitter. Strongly bitter. Good drink.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours light gold with a white head. Aroma of mild fruit and citrus sour. Near med body. Flavor is mildly lightly sour/tart. Almost like drinking a tart cider. Clearly a sour, but the "pucker power" seems missing.

This beer is a deep brown color with a medium thick foamy light beige head that recedes steadily to a film. Small patches of lacing. Roasted malt, caramel and hops in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of smoked malt, caramel and mild earthy hops. The finish is sweet with a burnt malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Hazy golden color with small head. Dry, pungent, with a good crackery malt backbone, and very good quality hopping: in other words a deeply satisfying IPA. The hops are fairly resiny, and with citrus fruit component too; there are fruitier IPAs out there, this one is more appropriate for a sunny afternoon.
