Growler via after4ever at HotD Dock Sale first beer of the morning at about 7:45am. Overall a really tasty fresh IPA.

Thanks to bvc for the growler! Poured hazy, deeper orange with a well-retained short cpa of white head. The aroma was malty with honey, molasses, and richer caramel notes.. floral and darker resiny fruit accents.. just a hint of green apple deeper down. The flavor opened with caramel, honey, and brown sugar notes, with floral and earthy bitterness rolling in.. a little sharper on the back-end with nice balance between the thick sweetness and moderate bitterness. Rather heavily-bodied with lower carbonation on the palate.. maltier than expected, but the hop profile was nice.. the green apple re-emerged, and I’m wondering if it’s a slight growler-related infection. Either way, tasty and very drinkable.

on tap at the brewpub in mukilteo. hazy gold pour with white head. light aroma of grapefruit hops. taste is floral spicey hops and bread malts. came off a little thin for my liking. had a celery quality to it. light bitterness. not quite up to expectation with all the high rates. will have to give it another shot next time I come across. K-7

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours a hazy golden color with a small white head. Has a malty hoppy grapefruit aroma. Malty hoppy bitter grapefruit flavor. Has a malty hoppy bitter finish with a bitter aftertaste.

Full bodied, delicious, surprisingly not a very heavy IPA, just chalked full of flavor. Appearance is not to dark, definitely a hoppy bear.
