We heap the hops into each batch of our Thunderhead IPA. A golden nectar with a striking floral aroma, Thunderhead holds a harmonious balance between its bold hop bitterness and subtle malt backbone.

On tap Pyramid Seattle location Poues out a gold topped with a cream head. Aroma of malts and a light citrus hop. Tast was more of the malt a once again light hops. A pretty poor IPA. I would say.

Bottle. Poured orange with medium lasting white head. Modest aroma of citrus and pine. Flavour is pine, citrus and a slight sweet malt. Lasting middle of the tongue finish. There was also a fattiness to the flavour and finish, and that brings it down. Still a good workaday reasonably priced IPA.

Bottle. Pours gold with a slight haze to it and a medium-sized sudsy head. Aromas are very weak for the style... grass and lemon are about all I can find. Flavor is a little odd, too. I kind of like the hops presence, but it doesn’t seem to settle correctly. It is kind of an odd deal... not very complex or interesting, but still strangely pleasant.

Coutesy GMCC2181. 12oz bottle pours clear deep gold with copper core and white head. The aroma is faint citrus hops and some malt sweetness. The aroma is pretty weak overall for the style. The taste starts with malty sweetness and builds toward mild citrus orange peel and grapefruit flavors. As it progresses the citrus hops become more and more bitter to about midway. For a moment the hops are met by a brief pulse of malty sweetness. Into the finish the citrus hop bitterness regains total control of the flavor. It leans toward mild grapefruit bitterness into the after taste.

Pours with a rocky, off-white head with a chill-hazed golden body. Some lacing. Floral hops, grapes and prunes in the aroma. Hoppy bitterness followed by a dryness that ends in astringency in the finish. Watery mouthfeel.

Woody and yeasty aroma or grapefruit. Cloudy amber color, thin head, good lacing. Bitter orange flavor with a lemon peel finish. I really didn’t enjoy this much at all. It’s bitter without a complimenting flavor and yeasty.

Bottle. Pine hops and honey malt aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Initially a honey malt flavor followed by a pine hops finish. One of the sweetest IPAs I’ve ever had - really works very well.
