Draught at the brewpub. Pale brownish amber. Sweetish with light body and clean, hard mouthfeel. Slightly syrupy with lingering resiny finish. Harsh and raw.

Draught @ Flying Pig, Everett WA
Golden-amber colour with a finger of foam. Earthy aroma (really surprised this is Simcoe and Amarillo - maybe they changed it this year?) speaks of English hops with a hint of diacetyl. Woody, earthy bitterness balanced by toasty & pale malts. Flavour is clean. Nicely done.

On tap at Elysian, Seattle. Copper colour with lasting off white head. Sweaty sock hop aroma and flavour. Very bitter finish. Some caramel, bit of buttery diacetyl maybe? I can’t see any other reason t have that butter. Could be better.

Tap@Elysian. Some aromatic sweet hops in the aroma. Lightly sweet, malts are toffee-ish, and the finish is decently hoppy, but definitely not over the top or anything, medium bitter finish. Pleasant, easy drinking.

on tap-pours a light tan head that laces and gold color. Aroma is nice citrus hops, sweet medium malt. Taste is citrus hops flat/bitter, sweet medium malt. Dry. OK effervescence. Write up say hops are simcoe and Amarillo.

Deep amber beer, white head. Aroma is very fresh and hoppy. Loaded with grapefruit, pine and tropical fruitiness. There is a bit of resinous bitterness on the back with just a hint of woodiness. Quite a nice pale ale, probably bordering on IPA territory, not that I’m complaining.
