Draft pour at the Issaquah brew house. Listed simply as Issaquah Brewhouse Contraband. Pours a dark copper color with a ton of head and lace. Over the top sweet malt aroma. Super sweet. Flavor still sweet, but much less intense. Flavorful. Nice hop presence. I guess this was brewed specially for the 3 pubs, but I’m glad I could try it here. Overall a good IPA.

Draught at the Latona, Seattle
Hazy dull amber colour. Bright, woody, slightly grapefruity hop nose. Rich hoppy character. Sharp contrasts within the hops...big piney depths and bright mango and passion fruit as well...all from hops...all at once. Throw in some guava and this is pretty cool. Finishes like fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice. The malt is there only as a skeleton. Tasty unbalanced IPA is a staple of Washington State.
