Can from Laurelwood Public House - PDX. Aroma is chewy bready malt, caramel, resinous hops, pine resin, soft tropical fruit. Flavour is medium sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Nice hop/malt ratio, good Red IPA!

Tap at Hop Haven. Caramel, fruity, little bitterness. Good stuff. Very easy drinking.

Tap at Sapporo Cellar. Orange-amber, hazy, with lace. spicy, hoppy nose. A bit subdued. Sweet and fruity flavor, nicely hoppy, bready, apricots. Silky and smooth. Decent but a bit full.

12 oz can. Aroma is fresh citrus and tropical fruit mingling with caramel; normally caramel is a turnoff for me with IPAs, but here it seems welcome and inviting. Pours clear amber with a large beige lacy head with excellent retention. The taste is a definite letdown after that bodacious aroma, with the caramel malt completely dominating over the hop bill; it’s medium level bitter, but that caramel malt is too much. What seemed interesting in the aroma is too much in flavor. Mouthfeel is a bit thin and watery. I had some hopes for this. It’s not terrible, but I just wish I could live in the aroma for the rest of my days without having to taste it, so said Copernicus to the flaming radish god.

Can at AK BW fest 2016. Clear amber color. Aroma of caramel. Taste is plain caramel, light body.

Tap at the PDX venue. Pours dark amber with a beige head. Resin aroma. Med+ body. Flavor is resin, grapefruit, and malt. Finishes a bit harsh and quite bitter.

On tap at laurelwood Portland pub. Pours out a amber topped with a small head. Nose is citrus pine and caramel malt. Taste is a great smooth hop with a nice mellow malt.

On tap at Laurelwood PDX, pours a hazy dark reddish orange with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out loads of resinous hops, caramel malts, and herbal notes. Flavour brings out loads pot-like herbal hops, a little caramel malt to back, and more skunky hops. Delicious balance, though the hops still overpower the body and finish. Excellent stuff.
