On tap at Kulshan - Roosevelt. Pours clearish pale gold with a white head. Grassy hops and biscuit malt on the nose. Flavour has bitter grassy hops, citrus peels. It's okay, but the hops are pretty messy.

Tap at DC Hama. Thanks for sharing Davido. Pours a clear gold with a small white head of foam. Very subtle pine and grapefruit zest notes on the nose. Very hard to catch much in the nose. Fairly standard IPA on the palate. Overly bitter and unbalanced with almost astringent bitterness that recalls citrus zest and pine. Finish is citrusy and slightly warming. Fairly simple, homebrew-esque IPA.

clear golden color. Clean malty nose with cereal grain and citrus notes. The mouth is clean balanced, malt accented with nice moderate bitterness. Fairly perfumy. Very well made IPA with a nice focus on the malt bill.

Draught at Ernest Loves Agnes, 11/2/15.
Hazy drab golden-copper beer with a small white head that recedes quickly and dissipates fully.
Fairly straightforward citrus notes in the nose, though itβs not overly acidic and thankfully isnβt joined by any pine. Dry limeskin, oranges, white grapefruit and very light pale malts adding a touch of honey and dough. Clean, no alcohol or flaws.
Bracing myself for another cookie-cutter cascade IPA, with orange/grapefruit flavors and too much bitterness, Iβm greeted by juicy, overripened ruby red grapefruit, lightly sweet, but well-attenuated pale malts adding light honey flavors and a beautiful watermelon/ripe honeydew melon flavor that is among the most distinct juicy melon flavors Iβve experienced in an IPA (Trillium definitely up there). Rather slick, somewhat watery and amply carbonated mouthfeel seems appropriate and the rest of the glass is filled with oranges, watermelon, sweet meyer lemons and plentiful honey. Really nice and nowhere near overdone on the bitterness (could use a little more, actually).

On tap at the original Bellingham taproom. Another light clear golden beer from Kulshan. lasting think dense fine head and lacing. Nice fresh citrusy hop aroma. Mild light maltiness pretty tame IBU bite that has a decent bitter trailer.
