Locally Real
Olfactory Brewing

Another selection from the Bistro dipa fest 2023 edition. Another brewery I hadn't heard of at the time. And now, almost 9 months later, I'm the one writing the very first review for this Next Glass database. I wonder if they ever wonder. . .why?

Pours golden with a light darker golden lean, 1/2" white head. The aroma had a familiar mixture of citrus rind and pine, thinking maybe some Amarillo and Centennial going on here.

The taste has not much beyond the usual trappings/awesomeness of the classic C hops. But who knows, maybe you can drop some Idaho 7 and get a similar feel. But this one did lean very unbalanced in terms of its mouth feel, wasn't to where it made a bad beer, but the relative amount of flavor hops to bittering hops seemed out of whack. When you gonna ring it?

Looks like this place has standard $8/9 pints in a quetionable locale. Don't think I'll be visiting, but I'll check out their stuff that makes it across the bay.
