Part of a blind tasting of 10 hazy IPAs at Harry’s Hofbrau during SF Beer Week. This came in second on my scoring. Very hazy yellow. Looks murky. White head. Overt melon, juicy. Juicy aromatic with massive juice flavor.

Very hazy, light golden color. Deep mangoes and pineapple juice in the nose, that is slightly boozy. Excellent mouth feel, tons of pineapple, mango, slightly boozy, medium body. Very drinkable. For the abv this drinks amazing. Still it’s too warming in the finish.

Very hazy, light golden color. Frothy white head. Stonefruit, mango with nice biscuity malt backbone. Very well integrated between hop and malt. Modestly bitter. This beer is about four months old, so hops have faded a lot, but great mouth feel. Lingering white grapefruit in the finish. Very nice

Poured up on tap at Flaming Grill on Harbor Blvd in SacTown where it exhibits an opaque deep gold body that supports bright white head. The aroma offers up mango, cantaloupe, tangerine and papaya. The taste delivers juicy tropical fruitiness with mango, papaya and a guava note flowing into slightly more bitter notes of grapefruit and tangerine. This is a solid deep rich hoppy brew. Wow. Into the finish a mild almost cracker malt note is noticed. This is one dangerously drinkable brew as it’s almost off the charts on the Crushability scale . . . maybe 17!!
(duck! as you fall face first into this hoppy elixir)

Poured up on tap at Flaming Grill on Harbor Blvd in SacTown where it exhibits a clear gold body that supports a white head that leaves behind some sheet lacing. The aroma offers some thin mango, tangerine peach and grapefruit. The taste delivers smooth modest levels of mango, grapefruit and tangerine. This is smooth and dangerously drinkable.

On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a clear golden color with a frothy white head. The aroma is dank and fruity with blueberry, pineapple and some grapefruit. The flavor had a bit more dank with blueberry and peach. Light to medium dank bitterness. Awesome stuff.
