We went back to our roots with this streamlined pale ale that lets our family farm’s hops shine like the first rays of morning light. Crisp with complex aromas of grapefruit, apricot, and pine resin and hints of mango, blueberry, and melon.

Sweet northwestern love. This is just what I was hoping for on my layover at Seatac. Pine and grapefruit on full expression here. A little lemon. Medium body and plenty of bitterness. I could drink this all day. I wish these guys distributed to DC.

Can at Laďa's humanitarian PNW tasting for Ukraine. Clearish golden body, thick off-white head. The aroma is pungent, a bit peachy, floral, citric, heaps of resin, bit NZ-style. Citric, soft, slightly floral hoppy taste, resin, light dank and grainy notes. Looow maltiness, oddly soft, bitter finish. In the end I feel it could've used a tad more body, otherwise nice! They are making great use of their hops here!

Can from Raynville Superstore. It pours clear pale bright golden with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, sweet, sappy, resinous, pine, dankness, peachy, apricot and orange marmalade white bread sandwiches. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, snappy, kick of bitterness, clean, pine needles, resinous, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, pomelo, lemon rind, peppery spice, touch herbal and weedy vibes with a drying, zesty finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Quenching. Balanced and moreish. Another winner from these guys.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Yakima, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out a clean, bright, dank hop character, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Flavour is dry and nicely bitter, with plenty of dank hops, bright pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Assertively hopped, clean and vibrant. Very good.
