Pours hazy golden with a one finger cream white head with good retention. Aroma has notes of pine, grapefruit, crackery malt. Taste is highly bitter backed by that crackery malt, finishing dry. Harshly carbonated.

Can. Pours a mostly clear orange hue with a large white head. A big malty nose, citrus. Sweet. Tea, toast, deep citrus. Quite balanced for an IPA. I like it. Pineapple and toast.

On tap at Portland taproom. Pours clear pale gold with white head. Aroma has lemon rockets and light tropical fruit. Flavour has lots of lychee, biscuit malts, and mango. Snags a bit in the back of the palate.

On tap at Crux - PDX, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some citrusy hops, light stone fruit, and biscuity malt. Flavour is gentle, with citrusy fruitiness, lychee, and a touch of gentle floral hops. Rather weak but clean and drinkable enough. Meh.

16oz can from Hops & Bottles. Clear golden pour, abundant white foamy head, light lacing. Hoppy, dusty aroma, faint orange. Taste is light citrusy hops, with a little bit more bitterness and notes of citrus oil. Doesn't quite come together for me
