Tap @ Brewpub: Hazy copper, nose of crisp cascades and light malt. The flavor has a doughy malt flavor, papery cliche albeit delicious cascade flavors. Nice body, tasty but doesn’t blow my mind. Why the pilsner malt?

On tap at the BP. Hazy orange amber. Modest hoppy nose but plenty of flavor. Not so over the top and the menu suggests, but the flavos seem bqlanced and are pleasing. Lingering bitter is also moderate. Noce flavors and would be a regular of mine if avaliable.

On tap at Oaks Bottom. fresh rounded hop aroma. cloud orange, quick white head. its hot day and I’m thirsty. seems right in the mouth. flavors of resin & grapefruit, balanced, a little murkiness.

Draft at the brewpub in Hood River - Poured a darkish amber in color with a hefty off-white head. Aroma was quite strong of citrus/grapefruit hops. Flavor was very strong of hops, but also had a very distinct underlying maltiness... excellent balance. Palate is above average. Finish is nicely bitter, but also clean and not astringent at all. A really good IIPA. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to visit this place again!
