On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a clear light gold color with an off white head. The aroma is light and grainy with some pale malts, hints of honey and noble hop. The flavor is grainy with light honey, multigrain bread and earthy noble hops. Nice and creamy on the palate, yet it has a nice mouth feel. A pretty traditional take on the style. Well made. Don’t expect a hop bomb Blonde.

On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a super hazy/cloudy pale yellow color with a white head. The aroma has intense weed and orange with a hint of earthy/sulfury onion. The flavor has weed with a little more orange and lemony citrus. Backgroud notes of melon and tropical fruit. Some spice from the hops. Low bitterness with some low levels of bready malt. Kind of chewy on the palate with a hint of astringency. A really good NE IPA. Similar to some of the Monkish stuff. My only complaint is that it could’ve had a fruitier aroma for the full effect.

Draft. It pours a golden orange color with an off white head. Seems a little on the dark side. The aroma has orange gummies and some tropical pineapple and mango notes. The flavor has flowers, pine and orange gummies. Some toasted malt in the background. A bit lackluster on the palate. It lacks the hop punch I was looking for, but the flavors are pretty much on point. Decent overall.

On draught at Ale Arsenal in San Carlos. Pours a golden-amber with moderate white head. Cracker malt that is a little syrupy for the lowish alcohol content. Hops are in the background. Everything is slightly above average here. Not bad.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 10 | Overall - 8

Poured from a 16 oz can. Aroma is very hop forward with lots of tropical fruit juice notes, some citrus, hints of dank resin. Some pineapple, peach an outer stone fruit. Medium light cracker malt notes and a bit of wheat. Pours a very hazy, murky, pale golden straw color with a medium large, thick, white head that recedes steadily to a thin film that lingers for a bit. Medium lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light cracker malt notes an a bit of wheat. Medium high bitterness with a faint alcohol note. Lots of hop flavors with citrus, tropical fruit and stone fruit. A light dank, resinous note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very nice NE IPA. Lots of hop aromas and flavors. Nice to see someone canning these in Northern California.

On tap at Beer Revolution. It pours black with a large brown head. The aroma is sweet with cream and chocolate. The flavor doesn’t have much roasted malt, but lots of rich chocolate, heavy cream and coffee. Not too sweet though, which separates this one above most other lactose stouts. Very creamy mouthfeel. Pretty crushable actually. Loved this.
