On draft at Tap 25. It pours a very clear light golden color with a white head. The aroma is potent with dank, grass, tropical fruit and a touch of garlic. They got all the great hop aromas in there. The flavor is the same. More notes of peach, mango, pineapple and grass with low bitterness, clean and easy drinking on the palate. Very diverse and complex hop profile. Full bodied, with a light honey-like malt profile. Awesome stuff.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours translucent gold with a slight white head. Aroma is dankish. Med body or better. Biting hop forward. It’s dank; fruity. Malt is present, but is solely for hop support. Fruit seems to include a tropical aspect. Bitter. Hoppy. Like fresh wet hop ale. Very nice.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy, red tinged amber/gold with a near white head. Color is hard to pin down precisely. Aroma is definitely raspberry, and likely a touch of cranberry. Near med body. Flavor is raspberry, but the cranberry bitter really kicks in. Dr, raspberry, bitter, cranberry, but not really very astringent. It is an eye opener!

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma seems dank. Med body at least. Flavor starts dankish, moves to earthy, seems to have light stone fruit, and then citrus. Finishes somewhat funky/danky bitter - tho the flavors are not objectionably strong. Quite tasty.

Tap at West Coast Invitational 2015. Pours gold with an off-white head. Aroma is dank/earthy. Med body at least. Flavor is an instant of mildly bready, then dank, earthy hop. Bitter. Fruits. Even tropical. Then it just gets more like weed. I wasn’t the only one to comment on that - but hey, Sacramento is into the medicinal thing.
