Bottle @ Yosemite National Park. Huge creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Light cloudy amber color. Aroma of grapefruit, peach, fruit, mild toasted malt, light liquorish. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and dry texture. Moderated bitter flavor with light counter sweetness. Lingering bitter dry finish.

Tap the North Fresno location. Pours a burnt orange color. Nose is hops and citrus. Taste is pine and has a sharp bit going down. Good.

On tap at Sequoia. Rich amber color, bit hazy. Nice head. Piny sweet on the nose. Definitely on the sweet side of the IPAs. Decent hoppiness in the mouth. Better than the other brew I had there.

Bottle from Suttree. Thanks!
Pours an average cheddar yellow with an aroma of peachy grapefruit bread. Flavor is a sweet, almost syrupy, grapefruit and pine nut. Nice layering of flavor on the palate. Pleasant surprise; definite repeat.

12oz. Pour is light amber with thick frothy white head. Aromas of piney hops. Flavor is smooth with hops, citrus, and malt. Nice lacing on this guy and very drinkable.

ornage body with a white head.light floral aroma.soapy astringint flavor.not bad but not really drinkable either.

Draft. Golden beer with a nice off-white haed. Citrusy aroma. Grapefruit and caramel flavor. Medium-light bitterness for style. Medium body. Sweet caramel lingers with light grapefruit.
