Pours with an orange gold body with little head and not much lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with a light fruity hop note and a lingering bitterness. Medium bodied and slightly dry.

Bottle shared with others. Poured a light amber with a nice with head. Aroma of pine hops, light malt, and spiced hops. Taste is also piney hops, with a mild malt backing. Some bread as well. Mouth was not as resiny as some. Finish was not as bitter as others.

Gold/amber with a smooth white head. Citrus and pine hop aroma, floral and a bit earthy.More earthy then most Northwest IPAs, soft bready malts up front, lingering citrus in the end. Very nice IIPA, while it doesn’t seem to be as full bodied as most, but very enjoyable.

Amber with a thick white head. Tones of grapefruit, lychee, pine and cirtrus in the nose with similar palate. Caramel malts less grassy and bitter than Punk IPA but still a winner. V drinkable alcohol well hidden

Pours an orange amber with off-white head. Quite a malty IIPA. Caramel malt, sweet candy sugar, orange, grapefruit, earthy malt, and finishes with bitter floral hops. Sweet and bitter IIPA.
