On tap at Harry’s Hofbrau. Aroma of moderate muddled citrus. Clear amber with bright white head that lingers as a slight pillow and leaves webbing down the glass. Taste is citrus, resin and pine in front half following thru to a strong bitter finish. Moderate biscuit in the latter half.

On tap at Gourmet Haus. Aromas of moderate roast and slight citrus/grapefruit. Opaque with a dense tan head. Flavor leans toward moderate roast and biscuity malts, with the hops only showing in support. I prefer CDAs that are more hop forward so that the roast does not take over the flavor profile.

On tap at Harry’s Hofbrau during SF Beer Week. Pours a very slightly hazy pale orange with a moderate white head that lingers. Aroma of overt grapefruit and slight pine/resins. Taste is strong hop flavor with a semi-dry finish and moderate bitterness. Joins the camp i like of DIPAs and triple IPAs that focus on aroma and flavor over bittering hops. Well done.

Sample at The Bistro DIPA-Festival, February 8. (my first one from this brewery) Hazy golden/orange with a white head. Fresh and with a pleasant hoppiness. Pineapple, mango, citrus and some biscuits. Bitter but not extremely bitter.

On tap at .burger in Capitola, pours a hazy vibrant golden orange with medium white head. Aroma brings out loads of piney hops, like a true Cali IIPA, with just enough biscuity malt to back. Flavour brings out very creamy piney hops, some tropical fruity notes - I'm reminded of peach creamsicle - and some malt to back that doesn't really impart much flavour. Extremely creamy, piney and flavourful - everything is well-balanced. Excellent IIPA.
