I had this at Hamilton’s around the same time the guys below me did. Initial flavor was that of a Dixon Ticonderoga #2 pencil that gave way to a light, refreshing blast of hops and a solid malt backbone. The pencil taste wasn’t a bad one. Face it, we’ve all chewed on pencils before and if the flavor were a repellent one, then we wouldn’t chew pencils. That was the reasoning for the 4 subsequent pints I had. Unique and oddly refreshing.

On tap at Hamilton’s Tavern, South Park, San Diego. Light amber color with a thin heady. Slightly hops aroma with hints of cedar. Even body with a slightly hoppy finish, a nice sessionable beer. a nice change up between drinking hair of the dog and drakes rye wine

Had on tap at Green Flash’s brewery. I think this is also going to be present at their 5th Anniversary Party in a month. Light amber color. Small microbubble head. Nice mild cedar aroma, especially when you taste it. Your nose quickly becomes immune to it, and you can’t smell it after a while. Medium to low hop bitterness of the grapefruit variety. Easy to drink. Very nice.
