In mythology, the raven can play tricks or otherwise disobey normal rules, hence the name Trickster. This well-balanced IPA has a light fruit, citrus and piney hop aroma with a full hop flavour.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours hazy orange with an off-white head. Aroma of light stone fruit and citrus. Med + body. Flavor of very lightly roasty caramel and a little citrus and a good amount of light stone fruit. Nice.

Seattle Taproom, Seatac. Golden-Amber with a frothy head. Aroma is dry and woody. Chewy up front, with a caramel forward with dryish hop note. Sort of old school but not really - a lighter malt chewiness, with some biscuit. I guess I’d prefer not to talk so much about the malt when drinking IPA but ok.

Draft pour. Pours a light golden color with a mild sweet aroma. Good balance of hops and malt here. Hips more towards the finish. Solid IPA. Had several times over and it hasn’t gotten old.

Light amber color. Fairly perfumy nose with mandarin oranges, pineapples and grapefruit. Very hoppy nose. The mouth is well balanced with a good pale malt backbone and a touch of caramel. Moderately hoppy aggressive finish. Decent stuff.

Draught at King’s Hardware, Seattle
Amber color with compact head. The aroma is hoppy, a bit fruity. Dry and lean mouthfeel, toasty malts flavor, and good bitterness level; the hops are quite resiny.
Nice.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Nose brings out biscuit malt, piney hops, and dry zesty notes. Flavour is very dry, with biscuity zesty malt, floral hops, and herbal piney notes. Very smooth and dry. Great IPA.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a clear amber-orange color with a medium off-white head that evaporates slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of fresh citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of floral hops, citrus and caramel malt. The finish is hoppy with a grapefruity aftertaste. Above average overall.

From Skyview, as Inauguration IPA. A good ipa. The flavor and aroma are right, with citrus and bitter hops, but what is there is far too light. A lack of palate really hurts this beer. Gold color.
