Pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice dank hops some rich malt notes. Taste is more of the nice dank citrus hops and a nice grain malt kick.

5oz pour at Ballard taproom. Pours clear pale gold with white head. Aroma has a dank oily character. Flavour has a ton of dank oils, some pine and resin, pale malts underneath. Very nice.

Draft pour pint at Stoup, Kenmore. Clean and bright golden appearance, plenty of foam head and lacing. Lively carb, cool piney and dank hop nose. Crisp feel up front, balanced cracker grains and grassy, forest piney hops. Mild bitter linger. Finishes again on that crisp note that keeps this glass full for only a few precious moments. Overall a badass IPA, being fresh hop or not. This is how it's done.

On tap at Stoup, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of dank hops, with resinous hops, some pine, and bready malt. Flavour is much the same, with piney and resinous hops, huge dankness, and just enough biscuity malt backbone. Excellent balance and expression of the fresh hop.
