The Beers of California

#93

Freshness Date: None

A: Pineapple golden, bright, and hazy. The head is towering white and doesn't seem to want to go anywhere at all.

S: Mostly grainy and yeasty with a hint of citrus zest. A simple and straight-forward nose.

T: There is moderate tartness paired with grass, mineral acidity, and faint citrus. The base is grainy and supports the dominant sourness and earthiness.

M: Bright with a good amount of carbonation. Refreshing and light.

O: Simple with a nice sourness that culminates into a refreshing light beer that is not quite exciting but is capable.

Consumed on draft at Bar 326 at Farmers' Market, Los Angeles, CA on June 12th, 2016.

Murky yellow beer with a thin white crown. Minimal lacing.

Aroma of grapefruit rinds and undefined citric hops.

Flavor is tart and acidic with more citric notes. Finish is surprisingly and not agreeably bitter.

Mouthfeel is medium-bodied but could have benefited from a touch more carbonation.

This is like a mashup between a "sour beer" and a "session IPA" with mixed results.
