On tap at Altamont. It pours a lightly hazed pale orange color with an off white head. Funny their hoppy ales are clearer than their first lager. The aroma is citrusy grapefruit with lighter notes of spicy hop. Hints of tropical and stone fruit. The flavor is nice and dank with grapefruit, melon and lots of hop spice. A little lime and berry. It’s full and kinda oily on the palate. No lager character that I can perceive. Pretty much like most of their other IPA’s. Not a bad thing. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

On tap at Altamont. It pours a nice rich orange color with a large, dense off white head. The aroma is full with intense notes of pineapple, mango, tangelo and some light hop spice, grass and dank. The flavor is equally awesome with pineapple, tangelo, grapefruit, hints of honey and a grassy, dank, spicy hop finish. Medium light bitterness. Full bodied, but not malty. There’s some very light biscuity/honey maltiness, but just supports rather than competes with the hop profile. Lightly oily on the palate. Great stuff.

Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound. Sometimes I wonder where, and how they come across these kegs. Always something new. I love it. Lighter hazy golden pour with an active fizz head. Name gets the dank part right. Wet hop aroma. Advertised as low bitter, but comes off as bitter to me. Good hop profile overall. Orange fruit in there late. Good IPA.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours amber with an off-white head. Aroma of strong citrus/pine hop, yet not dankish. Near med body. Flavor is a little malt, a lot of citrus/pine hop; yet it does not quite gel for me - even tho I’m starting to think dankish. Finishes decently bitter.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a white head. Mango/wheat aroma. Wheat aspect is off for me. Mango is nice. Fruity and bitter, but the aftertaste (maybe leaves?)isn’t pleasing me.

On tap at Altamont. I think they cleaned things up in this recent batch. No butter! It pours a light golden orange color with an off white head. The aroma has orange, pineapple and spicy hops. Pretty fresh and potent. The flavor is strong with orange and spicy hops. Big time juicy oranges with medium to strong orange peel bitterness in the finish. No butter. It has a lightly frothy, oily mouth feel. Pretty tasty. Better than the original.

On tap at Altamont. It pours a golden yellow color with a thick white head. The aroma has some pale, grainy malts with light citrus and earthy hops. The flavor is pale malt forward with hints of soap and spicy noble-like hops. It has a full mouth feel for a pale, low gravity beer. I think they’re going for a light, crisp blonde ale here, but their low attenuating yeast strain doesn’t work in this kind of beer for me. They need a bigger, juicier hop profile. Overall, just ok.

On tap at Altamont. It pours a golden yellow color with a small white head. The aroma is bready with some bread crust and juicy mango candies. The flavor, unfortunately, is buttery with some grainy malt and hints of mango but the fruit character is pretty weak. Very little hop character. The butter ruins this one.
