thank you. I had actually looked there but missed the fact that it is only in SoCal. Anyone ever tried it?

Here are my tasting notes:

The Levitation pours a copper-red with a creamy light tan head that goes to a thin film and collar.

Its aroma is a nice mix of spicy, piney hops and sweet caramel malts and some subtle notes of fruitiness.

The flavor is bready, sweet caramel malts initially, a little fruitiness and then a nice bitter piney hop finish. It is medium bodied and pretty smooth. It has a watery finish though that washes out a lot of the flavor.

Overall, I was let down a bit. I like how the sweet and hoppiness blended. But it seemed a little off. It’s very close to being an excellent brew, but not quite there.


Anyone have a clue what kind of hops Levitation uses? I was thinking I sensed some Centennial, but I'm still a neophyte at picking out hops.
