On tap at Elizabeth Station, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has a nice piney hop character and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and clean, with bitter piney hops, floral hops, and crisp biscuity malt. More floral than most RR WCIPAs, but very clean and well-constructed as always. Very good.

Dark golden body, with a medium, off-white head. Aroma of pine, citrus, grass, caramel, Tastes quite similar, very lemony and piney. Medium, quite creamy mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes bitter, citric, piney, a bit sweet. Lovely, straight west coast IPA. Beatiful piney and citric notes and just enough malt body. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 17

Canned, enormous thanks Ryan for getting these! Pale golden body, white head. Resin all over the place in the aroma, citric notes, orange, herbal touches. Sweet orange and resin in the dry taste, nicely aromatic. Good big bitterness IPA

Draft at the brewpub. Aroma of fresh hop, citrus and pineapple. Taste had delicious fresh hops, citrus, pineapple, soft pine, tropical fruit and quite some bitterness. Good hop bomb.

Draft 10 oz pour at Russian River, listed as Russian River Hop Father. Pours a high carb golden color with an active fizz head. Super juicy fruit aroma. Tropical, stone fruit. All the good stuff. Flavor is a dominant juicy fruit, thick body, partially sweet finish. Overall this is an awesome IPA, and a side of these guys that I’ve always put well behind their sours. This was amazing.
