Cappped 750 from Monument in Concord, CA. Pours a rather champagne color with a transient white head. Aroma of lightly sour peach. Med body, almost. Flavor is light tart/sour, a bit mouth bending, with peach and peach skin flavors. Rather mild, but quite definitely a sour. Very nice.

On tap at Whole Foods- Dublin. It pours a deep orange/light amber gold with an off white head. The aroma has some faint caramel and potent piney, herbal, earthy hop bitterness. Dirty, toasted bitter finish. Kind of unpleasant.

Bottle shared by Ben, thanks! Pours a clear golden orange with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of citrus with a decent amount of sweet grains and a touch of caramel. Flavor is citrus forward with a sweet grains backbone and some additional sweetness from caramel.

Very hazy deep amber beer, big cream colour head. Palate is light and has good fine carbonation. The malts are mildly tangy and slightly sweet. Light tangerine and tangerine peel, mild sweet floralness. A little violets and grape. Very mild hop spice. As the beer warms up, subtle tropical fruits develop. Light semi dry finish. Interesting hop and a tasty drinkable beer.

Bright clear gold beer, good white head. Palate is light, semi dry and a mild fine crispness. Light malts, touch of lactose - cream sweetness. Hops are a nice combo of cooling pine, almost minty, hop spice, ripe tropical fruits. Light semi dry finish. Nicely joined up.
