Look: Amber and bright golden in color, mostly clear - slightly hazy and creates an off-white 1-inch creamy head (leaves lacing)

Smell: Citrusy and sweet malts.

Taste: Smooth and balanced taste with citrusy, zesty, herbal, and floral notes. It is hop-backward with a pleasant bitter lingering finish.

Feel: Medium and smooth

Overall: It a good beer! Would definitely pour again.

Draught @ Taste Of The Himalayas, San Rafael, CA (close to the source). Pours a hazy light amber color and a stiff off white head with retention and lacing. Aroma's of grainy malt, flowery hops, tea leaves, resin. Flavor is moderate bitter. Light bodied. Firm bitter finish. Pleasant.

I picked up a six pack of cans at the overpriced deli down the block from my campground near Point Reyes National Seashore. Mostly clean taste with low to medium hop flavor. Tasty and refreshing, although a slight metallic tinge is found in the finish, which is also touched by mint. Great little camping beer, easy to consume in quality.

Clear amber color with off-white head. Aroma has a light caramel malt sweetness with orange rind and pine resin. Taste is balanced, some light malt character and a light hop bitterness on the finish. Slightly metallic. Light body, medium carbonation. Overall it's decent but very boring.

Enjoying this in tap at Mountain Home Inn at My Tam from the tap. Color is golden amber, lacing, clear to cloudy. Well balanced, more substantial malt flavor and less bitter than Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, which is similar. This is very good beer.

Can from Brewers Haven. Big foamy outburst, very active. Pours a medium golden with abundant billowing head. Mild citrus nose on top of otherwise sweet malts aroma. Taste also favors the malts, grassy, not hoppy except for a tinge at the finish, almost minty. Decent weight and feel.
