Russian River RnD Series IPA #35 (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Very much in the style of other Russian River IPAs despite the more interesting hop profile -- a pretty classic West Coast IPA on a lighter body than I was expecting. Mostly citrus/grapefruit and some pine/resin, but relatively lighter.

Charles Beck - Goat Rock

Goat Rock and the distant headlands north of the Russian River. I like the views while hiking above the road toward the top of the hill which opens up a large expanse to look at.

At one time what we call Goat Rock was called Goat Island, and so it was. Water surrounded the, then much larger, rock jutting into the sea. Sometime during the 1930s someone had the not too bright idea of building a jetty by the mouth of the Russian River to allow boat traffic in and out of the river. A short railroad was built from near Goat Island to the river mouth, followed by dynamite and earth movers cutting into the rock. A long wooden pier was built, rocks hauled and dumped into the water, later followed by cement. Never functioned well for boats and now the sea has had its way with the structure. The cement mostly gone, big rocks pushed around, and the iron rails are rusting in the sand. Nothing outlasts the ocean. A portion of Goat Island, now Goat Rock, still stands proudly.

Russian River Hop Growers Tribute Series CLS Farms IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Solid, clean IPA with a lighter malt body and only a touch of sweetness and then the expected pine/citrus you'd expect with a touch of stone fruit. Nice and light and refreshing, and a great tribute to the hops.

Dry hills, blue ocean, a beach, a band of fog, and a river flowing to the sea.
