Draft. A hazy golden beer with a thin but lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of smoke. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of hay, and a very bitter finish.

Draught at the brewpub (as Woody IPA). Hazy amber. Strong hoppy grapefruit aroma. Medium sweet with rounded mouthfeel. The malt is there, but gets overrun by grapefruity hops. Very bitter finish. Very solid, very American.

Bottled (6.2% thanks K.K., you know who you are!). Amber colour, huge slightly off-white head. Aroma is Fruity and grassy mainly. Flavour is crisp grass as well as fruity and flowery hops with a hint of some alcohol. Big time bitter IPA.

the big bitterness remains but the sweet fruity orange has been mostly lost along the way,

Dark amber colour. Fruity, citric aroma. Fresh and fruity flavour with loads of grapefruity bitterness. Lots of malt, too, getting breadcrusty and toffeeish late. Great balance. Rich and intense, my kind of IPA.

(22oz bottle) Lightly hazed amber body topped by medium beige head with nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, light orange -- nothing extraordinary but very aromatic, really caught my attention. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some orange, caramel. Pretty bitter. Creamy medium body. Could be the best organic IPA I’ve tried.

Bottled (alc. 6.2%, Vasa session). Clear copper color, huge cloudy off-white head, lace. Quite normal IPA-grassy, a bit grapefruity and almost some barnyardish notes. Nice bitterness, lots of hops. Fresh grapefruity flavors. Not really malty, but reasonably balanced IPA. Long bitter aftertaste.

On tap at Roots, Portland. I had this down as my 200th rating in my PNW holiday, and it had to be an IPA didn’t it? Hazy copper colour with thin beige head. Intense sherbert grapefruit aroma. Got some good character before big crunching hop shoes kick in. Quite smooth in mouth. I mean it’s a NW IPA, so it does have huge hops. Bit of cat’s pee on aroma. Rather drinkable and with great structure.
