Tap at Harry’s Hofbrau in San Jose. Dank all the way without any smoke (if there was intended to be any heavily kilned malts). Pungent, resiny and pine, without being overly bitter. Alcohol gives nice warming and is slightly hot.

First rating of the beer! Tap at Harry’s Hofbrau in San Jose. Another grapefruit IPA that arcs too much to the grapefruit and leaves too much of a find aspect to it. Clear golden with white head.

Draft at Taplands. Orange pour with a beige head that leaves decent lacing. Fruity sons, but not really lucky charms, more like pineapple and grapefruit to me. I do get done cereal like grains from either the lucky charms or the malt, and there's a touch of residual sweetness as well, though it's mostly bitterness. Finishes on the dry side. Medium bodied and a bit fizzy. Decent to good, but not great, and not as lucky charms tasting as Leiny, but that's okay.

Clear orange pour with a small white head and light, spotty lacing. Strong hops and booze aroma. Grapefruit and pine. Drinks on the bitter side, with some booziness to the finish of the flavor and the feel. Drinks fairly full.

Poured up on tap at the original Toronado where it exhibits a crystal clear pure copper body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma is thick sticky warm pine hop resin, a bit of floral hops and then some citrus grapefruit and clementine like hoppiness at the end of the draw. The taste is thick and smooth and bitter with resiny hops that are pine and somewhat grapefruit like and then getting a little more mango and cantaloupe adding a dash of juiciness toward the finish. It remains firmly bitter with hops and thick and chewy and sticky from front to back.
