On tap at 49th State, pours a clear pale golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out gentle dank hops, light pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is clean, with soft piney hops, straw and biscuity malt. Clean and bright with adequate hopping. Well-made, unexceptional WCIPA.

Thanks to Rogueone for sharing a bottle. Clear dark orange color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to a sparse outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of floral hops, fruit and malt. Medium body with flavors of herbal hops, fruity yeast and malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruit and hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft Mighty Matanuska Brewfest: Poured a coppery gold color with a white head. Aroma was huge fresh hops with piney/fruit fighting. Taste was rough ridged hops forward with a soft malt balance that keeps the tongue sane.
