Mostly clear golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, two to three centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of crisp grass, floral hops, a lot of citrus notes and a good deal of bitterness from the hops. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grapefruity and piney flavours dominate with the great PNW hops showing through, along with a good malt backbone that gives it support along with a tiny bit of mangoes and tropical fruits at the end, also from the hops. Aftertaste shows the bitterness nicely with a great bite of malts, alcohol, biscuits and yeast with the hops the strongest, by far, in a good way. Overall, a nice IPA overall, with a lot of characteristics throughout with a lot of body, some good flavours from the hops, but the bitterness from the hops is very nice. Great to sample as my first beer here back up in Alaska. I sampled this 65 cL bottle, purchased from SafeWay Grocery Store in Fairbanks, Alaska on 23-June-2021 for US$5,99, bottled on 25-May-2021, sampled in my hotel room here in Fairbanks, Alaska, a few minutes later on 23-June-2021.

22 oz bottle poured. Thanks Wyatt, for the Alaska haul! Golden orange pour, rocky, white foam head. Classic American IPA, earthy grain aroma, a slight hint of a bitter orange fruit, some piney character. Starts to have a juicy note late. Orange. Overall a solid brew

Tap at the tasting room. Pours golden copper with a white head. Aroma seems mosaic - melon/tropical. Flavor is aroma + earth and caramel. Finishes nicely bitter.
