Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours amber with a decent, clingy, off-white head. Mixed hop aroma on top of caramel. Medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor is roast caramel with resin and citrus. Astringent. Lots of bitter here. Just a really good IPA.

Bottle thanks to Scrizz. Pours with an off-white head over a hazed amber body. Aroma of hops, pine, peach and apricot with very light alcohol. Taste is grass, pine and fruity hops. Not super bitter, but very nice and balanced. Some jam and caramel. Light bubbles, but on the thin side. Solid IPA.

Draft at brewery in Muklilteo, WA. Pour slight haze orange-yellow with a white head. Aroma of some piney hoppiness. Taste is a big hop resin pine primarily, with some citrus peel bitterness mixed in - there’s some malt but certainly its in the background. Really fresh tasting IPA, and a delight to be able to try it.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear deep gold with white head and decent lacing. The aroma is mild with some grapefruit hops and mild malt sweetness. The flavor begins with a quick hit of sweet and caramelized malts before a bolt of grapefruit hop bitterness and faint pine hop bitterness show up in force. Soon after the grapefruit hops turn into sweet citrusy hop flavor that mix very well with the under current of lightly roasted malt sweetness. It ends with a reminder of how the hops were introduced in the beginning of the experience with grapefruit bitterness.

Draught Murky amber-orange, no head. Real coriander seed nose with some hops. It actually is quite OK. Some hoppiness, some malts, and, especially, good balance. Flavours of fresh leaves and lemon. Medium bodied, no aggressiveness. Good IPA, not preposterous or assuming - the thing the doctor ordered.

Draught at the brewpub. Hazy pale amber. Vast lychee/grapefruit aroma. Dryish with gently soft mouthfeel. Plenty of juicy hops dominate until the massively bitter finih sets in. Despite the hops it’s very drinkable. A world class IPA! I’m hard pressed to remember any IPA I liked this much!

On Tap at the brewpub. Hazy light amber, with a modest white head. Very fragrant citursy hops aroma that is strong but not harsh. Flavor is what I expected and the maltiness is a fair balance. After their sampler tray, this is what I had to have w/ my lunch. Full soft body, and perfect hopy slightly bitter trailer. It was worth the hype. Delish

Cloudy tan-copper; rousing hop aroma - cedar, grapefruit, orange. Creamy start, wonderfully smooth hoppiness flows over the palate. High woody factor, but no earth, pointing to all US hops and minimal quantities of crystal malts. Biscuits, wood, grapefruit collide. Luscious, and finishing with a lot of bitterness.
