Quite pale, slight haze. Lean malt, medium bitterness. Solid stuff, as usual.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy pale yellow, medium white head, good lacing. Aroma is grassy, overripe fruit, hint of pot. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter. Medium light body. OK

500mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Nose has a nice bright hop tang, some green melon, and a touch of candied character. Flavour is not that obviously a NZ hop bomb—there’s some hop tang, citrusy hops, light, pine, and a biscuity malt. Not as much of a hop explosion as I hoped, but it’s a clean, well-constructed IPA. Good but underwhelming for Russian River.

510mL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. The nose is dank with nice tangy NZ hop expression and some light citrus notes. Flavour has a dank oily character throughout, bitter citrus peels, a bit of tang. It's very nice, but the hop expression leaves something to be desired.
