Light hazy orange with a white head. Bold danky inspired hops, bright fruit salad, tropical notes throughout. More intense bitterness than expected, which is nice.

Tallboy from Andrew. Super happy Andrew sent me the new hot shit from Seattle. As usual for Seattle, disappointed. Fruit my ass. Decent, moderately bitter IPA with some fruit essence but mostly bitterness and generic American hops. 737313

500mL can, pours a hazy copper golden with a medium white head with good retention. Aroma brings out considerable pithy stone fruit, citrus hops, some pine and biscuity malt. Flavour has wonderful depth and body, with lots of piney and citrusy hops, stone fruits, and just enough biscuity malt to hold it all together. Another fantastic juicy, piney and fruity IPA from these guys. Extremely drinkable and well-made. Fantastic.

Tall can from Elizabeth Station. Canned on 2017-06-13. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a huge white head. Aroma is tropical fruits and some flowery notes. It is a quite bitter with piney and tropical fruits notes, quite malty at the same time. A good example of the West Coast Style IPA.

40 oz growler filled at Flatstick Pub, because for some reason, I thought that would be enough of this beer to satisfy. Hardly so. Delicious IPA here, and quite the introduction to a brewery I was already looking forward to. Quite an impressive debut single here. Hazy golden orange pour with a ton of foam head and lacing. Fruit heavy IPA. Tropical, mango orange fruit aroma. Flavor is creamy and extremely refreshing. A moderate bitterness to follow, and a soft bready malt, but all takes a back seat to the fruit character that explodes in this beer. So juicy and delicious. Huge variety of different fruit and hop character. Can’t wait to see what else these guys can do, but I’m not done with this one yet. This won’t be my last go with this one. Loved it.
