Draft at the brewpub. Pours golden. A decent hop aromas. Hop flavors a little week. Nothing more then your average brewpub beer.

(11/07) Tap at brewpub, Laguna Beach. Deep golden, flowery nose, moderate bitterness and slightly sweetish bitter aftertaste.

Tap @ the pub. Poured a lightly hazed dark gold with an almost white head. Toasty nutty malt aroma that was fairly sweet. Some graininess. Sweet malty flavor with a mild bitter finish.

OC Tour, tap at brewpub: Golden hue with fizzy head and spotty lace. The aroma has notes of pale grainy malt, veggies and butterscotch and some apple esters....arrgh! The taste was not any better, vegetable, corn grain, chalky with a hint of bitterness and acidity. This light and fizzy is just not good. Many could do better with a simple home brew kit. BLAH

Slightly hazed copper appearance. Mildly fruity, malty aroma. Dryish biscuity malt palate, overlapping citric grapefruit. Something of a weak SNPA clone.
