A careful selection of Northwest hops, premium barley, and our unique yeast give this ale a rich and complex malty middle with a snappy hop finish. Crisp, clean and smooth with hints of citrus and fruit.

Draught at Ernest Loves Agnes, 11/2/15.
The best appearance, by far, of the three I had that night (Seahops, Kulshan, this). Obviously unfiltered, yet bright, with a copper-golden body and a very well-retained white head.
This seemed to have been a very popular beer around town and for good reason. It’s assertively hoppy, yet not obnoxiously bitter. The malt balanced nicely with plentiful toasted grain/sourdough as well as honey and light caramel. Nothing fancy on the hops, just a pretty straightforward citrus character with light pine accents. Very light hint of tropical fruit in the nose. Towards the end of the glass, the malt wore on me a bit too much, adding too much toasted character, which exacerbated the hop acidity, somewhat unbalancing the beer flavorwise. The mouthfeel was spectacular, however, with tight, appropriate carbonation and a malty, supple texture.

On tap at the Inter Bay golf course. Pours a near clear amber with a near white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has resin and pine with a strong sweet grain and toffee backbone. Flavor is similar with caramel and sweet grains up front with a grass and resin backbone.

On tap at Georgetown, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Nose is bland, with toasted crackery malt and very subtle hops. Flavour is not much of anything - just a clean body of toasted crackery malt. Not much point to this. Boring beer.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a hazy orange brown body, no head, no lacing, no transparency.
The smell had a strong grassiness up front, lightly hopped.
The taste was mainly bitter as the hops take over, grassy bitter aftertaste, sticky finish.
On the palate, it sat about at a light to medium, fairly sessionable, carbonation is spot on for the style and for me.
Overall, good APA I’d have it again.

Draught at Seattle Tap Room (Sea-Tac Airport)
Cloudy light amber color with creamy head. Good aroma of hops, delicate fruitiness. Dry mouthfeel; the malts have a well defined bready character; strong bitterness; but I sense some vegetables in the end.
Fair beer.

Absolutely gorgeous beer, cloudy amber with medium creamy head, good lacing all around the glass. Aroma of malt and fruit, Taste is slightly sweet malt, bread and more fruit (apples?). Abrupt finish, medium weight body, easy to drink.
