Had this at the source as well. This has been my favorite brewery in a decent sized list of breweries to occupy the same (pricey no doubt) location right on US50 going through South Lake Tahoe

Pours a feint yellow, ok, this appears not to be overly malty, nice. Decent clarity, says unfiltered and it does have that look to it without delving into hazy territory. Nice 1/2" white head. Its not a hazy ipa, yet it is made with oats and wheat. The aroma goes with the Mosaic hop first, giving a papaya, blackberry, weed kind of a nose buzz. A bit of Simcoe and Centennial gives the nose the forest aspect that surrounds the beer and the brewery.

Taste is nice, brisk pine bitterness and green feel to it, but then bouyed by Mosaic's lush fruitiness and some weed clippings. The body is ultra low and light. And its appropriate, I don't want balance, I want a hoppy showcase, and this is literally the best ipa I've had in this building. I hope they continue on.

This was listed as an unfiltered West Coast IPA. Light colored. Smells vegetal and tastes similar. Not really in line with anything west coast I am used to and not very good honestly.
