draft @ brewery and growler for home - clear and dark amber; foaming white head and lots of lacing; fruity and bitter hop aromas mix; very crisp and pleasant; medium body with a sharp bitterness at first sip; nose is very strong and i suspect the other DN brews would have stronger aromas via growler than the muted ones found on draft; not sure why that would be, but was certainly the case here; maybe palate wasn’t shot or i stuck my nose in deeper in the comforts of my home; anyways, one the bitter side but remains very drinkable with a nice touch of sweetness; a pretty much perfect IPA that i’ll be drinking again and again

Growler, courtesy of after4ever. Thanks, Tom! Pours a gorgeous appearance: clear, bright golden-orange color; fluffy, textured off-white head with excellent and lacing that sticks to the glass; intricate and resilient. Soft, juicy hop oils (earthiness, fruit, and cedar) in the aroma; a touch of what I can only call "dustiness" creeping in; very solid hop character otherwise; nothing rough. A soft level of carbonation with smooth hop oils in the mouthfeel, making this very very drinkable: earthy and citrusy hops; juicy and resinous and generous; excellent, sessionable IPA; I still get a touch of dustiness in the finish, with some toasted grains and breadiness; a soft end to a smooth IPA.

Color is amber meets lemonade and they get along. Smell is pure hop and grain and the flavors are equally clean and balanced. Yummy.

Draft at brewery in Muklilteo, WA. Pour slight haze orange-yellow with a white head. Aroma of some piney hoppiness. Taste is a big hop resin pine primarily, with some citrus peel bitterness mixed in - there’s some malt but certainly its in the background. Really fresh tasting IPA, and a delight to be able to try it.

Draught multiple times. A damn good IPA from right around the greater Seattle area. Balanced aromas and flavors. Lots of pine throughout the nose and flavor as well. I’d be stoked to see this in bottles!
