Last night at legendary Toronado bar. Westcoast! Pintable.
Definitely a bit more bitter - classic strong West Coast IPA.

Wow is this good beer! Everything is so dialed in and flawless I just can't believe it. I wish I'd bought a lot more. super fresh grapefruit hops with exact perfect amount of malt and carbonation to balance huge fluffy frothy off-white head that lasts a long time just the right amount of bitterness and an outstanding finish. Man these guys can brew beer.

Bottle from Whole Foods San Rafael, close to the source. Bottled a week ago. Pours a clear golden colour and a small white head with some retention and lacing. Aroma's of piney hops with a light malt backbone.

Draft at Capone's, clear golden. Mildly piney aroma. Full body, smooth but intense citrus hops taste. Long bitter finish. Top notch stuff.

15th March 2019. Draft at the San Clemente Pizza Port bar with the 'Slice of the Day'. Clean, clear golden pour, white topping. Nose holds citrus esters, the taste is also on the citrus side of hoppiness. Light piney notes try to give some balance and giving extra bitterness to the finish.
