Bottled. Amber colour, small beige head that leaves foam. Aroma is fruits, caramel, some quite wooden notes as well as mild grassy notes. Flavour is pine, nectary and fruity sweet notes with some grassy and toffeeish notes.

Bottle unleashes an orangish gold body with aromas of pine and citrus with a little malty sweetness. Flavor is crisply
hopped, yet has a sufficient malt backbone to balanmce it out. This is a pleasant and solid brew.

Pour is a orange with a small white head. Aroma is of pine resin and not much else. Flavor is a decent helping of hops but not overwhelming. No real malts to speak of. There is nothing wrong with this beer its just that its a pretty standard IPA.

This beer pours a clear copper color with a medium and rocky thin white head that recedes steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. The aroma is mildly hoppy with some hints of grapefruit and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of hops and citrus with a light malt undertone. The finish is short and lightly bitter at first with a bit of sweet malt in the aftertaste. Straightforward and slightly above average overall.

12oz bottle. Dark stained-glass orange colored, looks filtered. On the lemony side of the IPA taste range, in a good way. Excellent balance and very enjoyably bitter. Dry and piny, not your run of the mill IPA.

12 oz bottle...acquired on my trip to Washington state...a muddled malt citrus (grapefruit) combo with a fresh grassy aroma--just a nice Ipa aroma--light body, an easy to drink Ipa--nothing special...light bitter finish--bitter citrus...more hop than malt

Acquired via trade with OSLO, thanks buddy. 12oz bottle pours clear deep copper with bumpy nearly frothy tan head. The aroma holds both grapefruit hops and tangelo sweetness along with sweet malts and mildly roasted malts. Sort of on the light side but an inviting aroma nonetheless. The taste is much the same with grapefruit and tangelo notes mixing with sweet malts and also carrying late addition to the boil hop flavors. So the hop bitterness isn’t over the top and in fact a bit subdued for the style but still grows nicely into the finish. Rock solid IPA with a tasty malt backbone.
