Tap@Rock Bottom, Portland. A pretty sweet IPA, little bitterness from the hops, some resiny hops and orangey fruit flavours, but not much else.

Cobbwebby lacing, bronze color, sticky head. Aroma is earthy & musky, light hops but not very clean or PNW inspired. The flavor has a sweet hoppy resin feel but not bitter or hoppy, just dry & tart, some alcohol finish. The dry hopped version of this beer is much better as it has a pronounced hoppy flavor and more grapefruity hops in the nose. More balanced you could say. Score is for the dry hopped version.

Sweet, nut that bitter at all. Smells of orange syrup and not much in the way of hops. Plain and sweet.

Light amber colour, thin white head. Grapefruity hop aroma, some spice and grass as well. Light caramel malt, hoppy, resinous aroma. Low bitterness. Quite simple beer.
