Featured Review – The San Francitra Treat IPA

What better way to kick off a month of Orange County featured beer reviews than with a triple collaboration. Artifex, Bottle Logic and Unsung Brewing have concocted a hoppy treat.

I picked up my can at Vendome in Toluca Lake introgued by the blue can and the fact that rice was used. Learning later that, African Queen, Azacca, and Citra hops were probably playing a more prominent role. The DIPA had a great aroma pour out with the opening of the can. Very fruit forward. Tropical to be more exact. It veered more to IPA than DIPA to me and though honey was also added, I did not pick up on it. I would certainly pick up a second can if seen on store shelves.

Featured Review – Field to Ferment – Centennial from Fremont


We head north to Washington State for the second featured NOT California brewed beer. It is the Centennial variant of the 2018 Field to Ferment from Fremont Brewing.

I purposefully did not look at the bottom of the can when I bought this beer. I wanted to be surprised at what hop was the featured attraction. And I was not disappointed by the Centennial which pours a dark orange color. There was a big fluffy head and big fruit aroma coming through. I picked up grape, maybe watermelon notes initially. Old school dank taste with some pithy grapefruit notes to it. Good spritz carbonation. Dank and not hear you. Bitter sticks to the roof of the mouth.

FYI – Citra and Simcoe are the other two variants for this year.
