Draft pour pint at the West Seattle location. Listed as an organic IPA. First visit to this location, the site of this beer’s origin. Pours a dark copper color with a thick foam head. Soft grain aroma. Flavor is a little nutty, caramel malt, and a heavy bitter hop bill. Malt heavy linger. They call it an IPA, but the malt presence is dominating here. Not a slammer here, less my liking for an IPA. Or strong ale. Whatever is. Was alright.

Billed as the hoppier DIPA on at the time, this is actually pretty similar, maybe with more citrusy character but still old school crystal malt forward.

Draft - Sweet caramel east coast style. Hazy copper with a decent head. Lots of caramel and bitterness. Resinous finish. Odd for something not an IPA.

Sampler at source. This should be listed as a DIPA, not ASA. Dark orange amber color that completely covers the side of the glass as you drink it down. Aroma is a fresh bouquet of hops - some citrus, some fruit nicely blended, no/low pine. Medium bitterness on the nose. Alcohol appropriately pleasant with a present neutral malt background. Flavor is hop profile with a medium hip bitterness that overtakes the flavor and leads into the aftertaste. As the beer warms up there is a mild diacetyl character. I could see less sensitive people not picking it up. Also, I don’t mind the character as much but I could see those that dislike it really penalizing the beer for it. I actually think in this case it provides a nice characteristic to balance the hops.

On tap at West Seattle brewpub. Pours out a copper topped with a white head. Aroma of fresh citrus. Tast of a nice citrus hop. A littel malt and a very nice bitter end. #1100 for me.
