Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours clear gold with a copious white head. Aroma is fruity - has a spice/tang that suggests passion fruit. Approaching medium body. It's moderately dry. Moderately hoppy. There's a spice/pepper/fruit tang that seems passion fruit, and there's a flavor that might be gooseberry - memory is vague on that flavor. Decently bitter. Good flavor - especially for a gold.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours orange/brassy gold with a white head. Aroma is floral and citrus. Med body. Flavor is very lightly bready/pale malt/oats (? But not at all wheaty). It’s dry and bitter. For hop I’m picking citrus, pale stone and melon. There’s an interesting tongue tingle from something. Quite refreshing. Might be good session ale.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours clear medium brown with a beige head. Lightly, very lightly, toasty malt with some floral for aroma. Med body or close. Flavor is mildly toasty malt, mildly chocolate, a little floral, and some hints of citrus or spice. All in all a mild ale with fairly strong flavors. Oh to be in England!

First rating of the beer. Clear with solid lemon and citrus aroma. Taste is similar to aroma, with a bit of a malt spike at the end.

Can dated 10/22/19 from Berkeley Bowl West. Pours clear amber with an off-white head. Aroma has a lot of resin. And some roasty malt. Approaching full bodied. This is an Imperial Red Ale - so I question whether it should be styled DIPA. However, the flavor lacks the nasty chocolate aspect often occurring in amber ales (IMHO). So the flavor is arguably that of a very malty DIPA. It is strongly hopped - resin and citrus, and perhaps grapefruit zest notes. Bitter enough to keep the malt way down. Very nicely done.
