  • Pour: Clear golden amber with a bright, white 1-finger head that slow dissipates, leaving a nice white ring and
  • Nose: The nose of the Local 702 is characterized by floral and herbal hops, tangy citrus, and toasted malts.  There are aromas of pink grapefruit, orange, lemon zest, summer grass, toasted bread, and caramel with hints of pine.
  • Taste: Similar to the nose, the flavor is characterized by lemon, soft grapefruit, melon, caramel/toffee, and sweet biscuit.
  • Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with good carbonation, the Local 702 is crisp, extremely smooth, and refreshing with a nice hoppy clean finish.
Overall pairing: Refreshing... an attribute I would use to describe both the Tenaya Creek Local 702 and "Sex, Chugs & Rock ‘N’ Roll"!  They both are tasty, enjoyable, and full of good flavor!

Cheers!!
