Draught at the brewery
To be noted that now (2024) it's a Hazy DIPA. Cloudy blond colour. The aroma is fruity, and mildly dank. Goo body, little residual sweetness to round the mouthfeel; not getting interesting elements from the malt, it's a bit creamy (oats); the hoppin is fruity, with bitter grapefruit peel in the finish; the alcohol is noticeable.
Good.

A dink pour. Appearance: a bit dirty murky blonde with a white head. Aroma: tropical fruits, some sweetness. Taste: along the same lines, a bit harsh, finishes with a noticeable bitterness. Overall: ok.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of flowers, grapefruit, pine, lemon, crackery malt. Pours hazy orange with a two finger cream white head with excellent retention. Taste is very sweet with a lightly bitter edge that builds on the palate. Smells and looks great, but it’s far too sweet to want more than one.

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a humongous foamy white head. Aroma of citrus, melon, earth and more. Med plus body. Flavor of melon, citrus/pine, weed an perhaps passion fruit. Juicy, but dry for me. Nicely bitter! Good flavor. Excellent. To include the label.

On Tap at the Bellingham brewery/taproom. Fogy dull yellow/orange pour with a scant wispy off-white head. Nice big citrusy aroma. Tangerines and grapefruit. Flavors, less so but similar. Some sweetness tomes down the doubleness but a full and flavorful IPA. Dangerously drinkable at 8.5

On tap at Wander, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, a bunch of butter (fuck off), and biscuity malt. Flavour is on the sweeter side, with piney hops, resinous notes, toasted caramel and traces of butter. Unfortunately, the diacetyl kills this a fair bit for me, despite it not being a terrible case of it. Needs refinement—I can see a good beer underneath.

Can thanks to Andrew! Pours mostly clear orange with a small off-white head that dissipates leaving light residual and some lacing. Aroma is orange, pine, grapefruit, light caramel. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter, a bit orangey. Medium body. Fairly old school DIPA.
