On draught at the Palmdale location. This beer pours a mostly clear orange-amber color with a medium thin and foamy light beige head that recedes slowly. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Piney hops and a touch of malt in the nose. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with citrus and hops flavors underscored by pine and malt. The finish is somewhat bitter hops, albeit on the astringent and not flavorful side. Lingering hoppiness in the aftertaste. Overall a decent effort from this chain brewpub.
