A mentor told us when we first started out that here in the PNW, the best beer is an IPA so clear you can read a book through it. Here it is: Skyward IPA. A crisp West Coast IPA, named for the direction our hops stretch as they grow on our 4th generation hop farm. Grapefruit, pineapple, and classic West Coast dankness.

Can at Laďa's humanitarian PNW tasting for Ukraine. Clear golden body, white head. Herbal, oniony, slightly dank, slightly sulfury aroma, lightly citric and resinous. Herbal taste, dank, resinous, light green citrus fruit, soft grainy maltiness, milder bitterness. The hop profile is a bit raw somehow, but it's still nice enough.

On tap at Bale Breaker, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy hops, some muddled hops, and a hint of dankness. Flavour is full of muddled, earthy hops, a hint of dankness, and bready malt. Earthy, tired hops on the finish. Not great.
