Bottle: Bright golden color, outstanding clarity. Big fluffy white head. Moderate aroma of citrus and pine, very hop centric. Taste is hoppy bitters, but mild. Moderately sweet. A little bit light overall, but OK in the session style.

Bottle shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a clear amber gold with a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a combination of earthy tropical fruits with citrus and a bit of sweet grain underlying. Flavor has lots of earthy light citrus with some lemon rind and a sweet grain backbone.

On tap at Portland Craft, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light fruitiness, dry hopping and a crisp crackery malt base. Flavour is very dry, with crisp crackery malt and astringent dry hoppiness in good balance. Not an upper tier session IPA, but it's well-constructed. Easy to drink, but unexciting.

Draught at Portland Craft, Vancouver
Golden color, clean, beautiful, with compact head. Nice aroma of citrusy hops, bone dry body, but not weak, quite crisp, delicate malt backdrop, and then a strong citrusy and resiny character from the hops, touch of lemon tart too.
If you are into Session IPAs, this would be one of the top choices.

Sampled on draft at the Rivertowne Pub this beer poured a dark copper color with a small foamy off-white head that left good lacing. The aroma was dryish and tart with lemon, orange and grapefruit. The flavor was semi-sweet with caramel, orange, grapefruit and a bit of tequila. Medium length finish. Medium body. Decent.

12 oz bottle from a six pack bought at the grocery store. Aroma is light citrus, doughy, SweeTarts. Pours slightly hazy orange with a thick long-sustaining cream-colored head that leaves curtains of lace. Taste is medium bitter, light citrus. Texture is watery, body light. It’s not bad, but kind of bland. It’s one of those "Session IPAs" that could easily be in the American Pale Ale category or even an extra hoppy example of a Golden/Blonde Ale. I say it’s bland, but sometimes this is just what’s called for on a hot day. So it gets props for that. Chug a lug.

On draught during the "Deschutes Brewery at Bob’s Bar" event on 05/16/2016. The beer pours a clear golden color with a medium thin white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with a zesty lemon and hops character, with some biscuit malt in the background. The finish is mildly bitter with a lemony aftertaste. Decent overall.
