Tap at The Planing Mill in Visalia. Pours clear light gold with small off-white head that patterns nicely down the glass. Resin and pine aroma up front, with slight citrus fruit in the back. Flavor is solid mix of pine, dank, forest floor and citrus in the background. Really crushable West Coaster and drinks like it is much lower than the 6.8% - more like a session with its refreshingness.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear bright gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma of light malt and some grass/spice. Med body. Flavor is floral/grass/spice with some slightly darkish light malt. Weird, but there it is. Quite dry. Unexpectedly and pleasingly bitter. Crisp, clean and delicious. Highly recommended.
