Somehow the local HEB continues to get some surprising beers to sell. This time it is an IPA from Ex Novo. I will point out that the can is great looking, hope the brew keeps up. Using a shaker glass, I open the 16 oz can and tilt into the glass. The appearance is totally transparent, a gold-yellow body with a fleeting, solidly white head. I smell a combination of tropical and pine, an interesting beginning. The taste certainly veers towards old-style IPA with plenty of resin, citrus, malt, a bit of mango and earth. Decently bitter, nice. Wish I was at the Balloon Fiesta, watching the night glow and sipping this beer with friends.

Amber with a frothy, white head. Tropical aroma, a mix of citrus, papaya and banana. Taste is bitter the whole way through. Medium-bodied, good chewiness. Clean, tasty feel. Good.

Pint can from Total Wine Spokane. Pours a copper-orange color with a large sandy head. Quite a bit of sticky lacing. Aroma is citrus and piney, a little musty and dank. Sweet fruity hops up front finish with a medium bitterness. Citrus and tropical fruit with a little more pine. Solid PNW IPA.

Sampled from the tap at the Portland location. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has bitter citrus and dank papaya with a touch of resin and grain backing. Flavor has light onion and dank tropical fruits with citrus rind and some sweet grains backing.
