On tap @ Faction. Clear amber colored beer with a small off-white head. Somewhat of a chlorine/pool aroma. A bunch of tea, some grass, toast, and bread. Mild caramel malts. The flavor is a bit on the astringent side. A ton of tea. Not really my thing... Sort of a malty sweetness, but kind of watery and not terribly good. Could scroll past this one.

Pint on tap at Preserve in Winters. Fairly faint aroma with some floral hints present. Light caramel sweetness, without much else happening. Transparent amber body with a moderately strong, creamy off-white head. Starts with some rather burnt caramel flavors. Becomes herbal, dry, and rather bitter late. A little on the harsh side for me.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours dark ruddy copper(?) with a light beige head. Aroma seems resin. Med + body. Flavor fruit/resin with very light chocolate. Maybe some citrus. Its a deliciously hoppy amber. Finishes with more hop than malt. Tasty.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 joeneugs (4453) - Livermore, California, USA - JAN 4, 2014
On tap at the brewery. It pours a deep copper color with an off white head. The aroma is heavy with pine and tropical fruit with a hint of dry maltiness. The flavor is very bitter and piney with some background juicy fruit hops. Pretty heavy bitterness, but great hop flavor. Nice one again from Faction.
