Shared with Farees. Appearance: almost clear golden with a white head. Aroma: piney, malty, bold. Taste: along the same lines, a lot of candied oranges. A bit boozy. Finishes with noticeable bitterness. Overall: good old school thing.

Bottle from Elizabeth St., Bellingham
Cloudy amber color with small head. Fruity caramel aroma, hoppy but a bit old, light sweat. Bold, full bodied, with moderately sweet malt and caramel flavor; strong bitterness, still some hop resins and fruitiness.
I would really like to try it fresh.

med amber color, lots of caramel and citrusy. Very bitter but body isn’t so heavy . This is your standard PNW IIPA though certainly doesn’t take me anywhere special.

Pour is a hazy orange with an average white head. Aroma is on the sweeter side with fresh citrusy hops. Flavor is again sweet honey malts up front then comes your citrus/pine like west coast hops. Not a total hop bomb with the sweeter malt used but this just makes it into the solid category with a decent hoppy backbone.
