Strangely enough, this is listed at another source (are we still not allowed to mention by name other online entities in the beer world LOL at insecurities) as a NE ipa at 5.6%, but nonetheless, at the Bistro's 22nd annual ipa festival, the listing says 6% and it is not listed on the Hazy list.

Anyhoo, commercial/festival tug jobs aside, lets get into the substantive review. It is slightly obscure/hazy yellow/gold with a thin 1/4" white head. Puts out a pine and tree like aroma that makes one think you got some Centennial and/or Chinook in this beer. They indicate that Admiral malt is used here, although it could just as easily be golden promise.

Interesting beer, they went with C hop (or worse, a proprietary hop mimicking a C hop) but really changed up the standard malt bill and haziness, a blend of the old and the new school as they say. It does evoke sensory images of the area around Winters/Lake Berryessa, so I think it works.
