On tap at the brewery. I was really into this brew. I think the ABV was around 6.5? Great piny nose with some citrus. Went down easy like every lager does.

Draught. ??My notes, taken from the blackboard, talk about Fathom IPA?? Good yellow head, leaving some lace: pale orangey beer. Very grapey, dry hops, bit salty/oystershell (high DMS?), fruity end. Dry hops, less bitter than expected, orange marmalade and a pinch of quinine. Medium bodied, slick, some alcohol ’t would seem. Good, if unspectacular. If it is really a lager, then it would be spectacular indeeed.

On draft at Obriens; I thoght this was an IPA rather than an ESL; to me it seemed a lot more IPAish. Nose was lightly garssy hops with a little citrus accent; copper with a small off-white head; flavor had some caramel malt to balance out the hop bitterness; finish was lighly bitter. I would have liked some fruitiness rather than so much hoppiness if it is an ESL. But good anyway!

On tap@the new Scripps Ranch Brewery: Golden amber color with a medium white head. Aroma is lemony citrus. Flavor starts light sweet citrus (grapefruit, lemon and orange) followed by a medium citrus bitterness and a medium dry, lightly grassy finish. Medium body is tangy with lively carbonation. Lager my ass, this is a damn good IPA (made with lager yeast I guess).

On-tap at BP Linda Vista. Pours an orange yellow color with a fluffy off-white head. Smells light and fruity hoppy like a lighter single IPA with more of a malty backbone.The taste is super fruity hoppy, sweet citrus, with a lingering malt profile. Grapefruit, orange, and then smooth and grassy bitter on the finish. Medium, bitter body with vibrant carbonation.

At BPB. A deep golden pour with gooy white head. Nice hop aroma with no paper at all which surprised me. Hops run rough shod over the malt. Has a very good bitter finish. Solid medium bodied palate. Very solid offering.
