On tap at Oakland CHoP. Aroma is moderately malt forward with notes of toasted rye bread, caramel and raisins. Hints of herbal, grassy hop notes and faint alcohol notes. Pours a fairly clear amber color with a small, thick, white head that recedes fairly quickly to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with moderately strong notes of toasted rye bread and caramel with hints of raisin. Medium low bitterness and light alcohol notes. Faint herbal, woody hop notes. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent amber lager but I think I like the Shadows in Bloom more; it's just crisper and cleaner. This beer has a nice malt profile, but the body is a bit flabby and not crisp enough for my preferences.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Special Brews. Still stoked to have these guys show up in my local. Bright and shiny, clean golden appearance with two fingers of loose foam. A west coast double with all headliner hops. There's just no way this wasn't going to be incredible. Packs a stone fruit punch ip front. Has a nice biscuit malt background that remains throughout. Slick front but ultimately ends on a crisp and more bitter note. Hope are impressionable, but less than aggressive. Absolutely delicious double IPA here. Total standout for my recent memory.

16 oz can poured picked up at Special Brews. Awesome collab, and really looking forward to diving I to this one. Mostly clean golden pour, very thin head. Crisp front, bitterness is on the heavy side with some tropical hop tones. Medium body west coast IPA, with a hop oil finish. Holds on to a crisp feel, with a forever lingering resinous hop. Bold and flavorful. Very nice.

Draft. Pours clear light gold with small white head and moderate lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit and papaya. Flavor is orange peel and biscuit. Solid malt makes this taste like a pale ale. Moderate high bitterness.
