On tap at Gig Harbor - Tacoma, pours a mostly clear dull golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma has rough earthy hops, some resins, bitter grapefruit rind, and bready caramel malt. Flavour is much the same, with big earthy, resinous hops, bitter grapefruit rind, and sweet chewy caramel malt. This is super old school. A bit overmalted and sweet, but likewise very bitter and assertive in the hop department. Haven't had an old school IIPA like this in a while. Good albeit a bit rough.

Very deep copper with a tall white head. Full sweet malt profile with plenty of hops in the back. There really isn’t much to say here. Hops are mostly bitterness and covered by a hefty malt profile. Meh.
