Our IPA brewed with Northwest American hops prominently featuring Chinook! A pungent aroma gives way to a delicate beer saturated with hop flavor. Soft notes of grapefruit, pine, pineapple, and young mango give way to a spicy finish making this one hard to put down. We find Sap to be one of our most complex and intricate IPAs - We love it dearly!

Can, by way of a trade with Leighton. All red “core range” can. 7%. Very hazy, milky gold. Thin and shiny, lasting, fully lacing, white head. Looks boss. Nose has ripe pineapple. Orange sorbet. Fusty and sappy pine. Taste is sweet, first off, turning robust, pithy, citrusy and resinous bitter. Medium body. Slick and slightly oily. Punchy, pithy, resinous bitterness to finish.

Can: Poured a bright cloudy/hazy yellow color ale with a medium size white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of intense tropical notes with some melon and mango notes clearly coming out as well as some residual sugar notes. Taste is a mix of floral tropical fruits notes with some mango and melon notes clearly identifiable, some residual sugar notes and loads of dry leafy hops notes. Body is full with good carbonation. Super enjoyable IPA that I would wish would be more accessible.

Can shared at Lucky Bamboo. Thanks Andrew! Pours a clearish, deep gold to light copper with a finger of foam. Resinous nose with honeydew melon, tangerine and peach in the background. Some sweet nectar on the palate with more pine resin and melon notes. Clean and a nice pillowy mouthfeel. Finish has some medium to low bitterness. --- Beer merged from original tick of Sap (December 2015 -) on 10 Mar 2018 at 18:35 - Score: 7

Bodney Towers Bottleshare. Big thanks to Leighton for the can. Very hazy gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is smooth, soft and fairly dry, modest fine carbonation. Soft dry creamy malts. Trace of orange and lemon sherbet. Fresher orange into mild hop spice. Soft dry piney finish leaves a spicy orange and lemon linger. Would be hard pressed to identify this as an IPA, feels like SIPA and lower end of APA territory. Easy drinking.

Thnx selle ! Pours very hazy, with a good, stable white head. Smell is creamy, NE style yeast. Taste is sharp, but quickly mellows out to a creamy, fruity ( tropical, mango and pine ) tad bitter ( minor ) very well made, bit not aw stabd out as some of their others.
