Clean dry malt balances loads of flavoring hops to create a balanced, light, highly drinkable American style IPA.

Hazy amber and thin head. Aroma is piney and a bit weedy. Modest bitterness, sweeter in character, with a bit of a doughy malt character.

On tap at Sound, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings herbal and piney hops upfront, with biscuity malt to back. Flavour reveals loads of piney hops, some dry spicy herbal hops, and bready notes. Well-constructed and balanced. Really nice IPA

Sample at the Tap House Grill in Seattle. Clear pale amber pour with a medium off-white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Sticky strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, pine and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of resiny hops, toasted malt and caramel. The finish is moderately bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

Very drinkable, very well balanced, big caramel malt backbone, but piney hops dominate from start to finish. Nothing too complex, just a well executed high enjoyable brew.
