Draft pint at the Virginia Inn, Seattle on 11th August 2025. Taken with a lovely Lamb Ragu, sat outside. Slight haze to the golden pour, white affair on top for a while. Piney resinous feel with a grapefruit overtone, some malty notes in there too. Overall a nice IPA and it did go nicely with the meal.

Aroma has notes of cantaloupe, grapefruit, pine. Taste is highly bitter backed by mild candy sweetness and hardcore piney flavor and a little citrus.

On tap at Sea-Tac clear light amber with a thin soapy head more of a Woody resinous aroma and some piney bitter hop Flavors. Pretty tame but not bad for an airport beer

Bottle from Tavor Hazy deep golden color with a small bubbly off white head that persists. Earthy resinous citrus and pine against and old school bready caramel maltiness. Clean well made IPA.

Pours a nice somewhat dark amber from a bottle. Nondescript aroma, flavor is slightly bitter and fruity. Nothing earth-shattering or horrible. Good beer.

Bottle from Safeway. Pours out a bright orange, golden, lasting foamy head. Aroma is citrus, malts, some light bitterness. Taste continues with minor sweet malts, oranges, mild hoppiness. Incredibly smooth. Tasty too.
