Draught @ Big Time, Seattle, WA. Pours dark orange with a smooth head. Aroma of juicy fruits, pine, toffee and caramel. Taste is sweetish, malty and caramely with some pine, resin and citrus. Finish is crisp, malty and caramely with some pine and resinous hops. A bit unbalanced. --- Beer merged from original tick of Perspective IPA on 20 May 2016 at 18:15 - Score: 7

Hazy golden coloured body with a hint of some orange glows and a nice proper two centimetre tall white head. Aroma of nice citrusey and piney hops with a good malt nose and a little yeast as well. Medium-bodied; Fresh hop flavour with a good balance of malt and some sweetness from caster sugar on the tail end, but the hops end piney and a bit floral. Aftertaste shows a nice subtle hop flavour, but more malts are noticeable than from before. Overall, a solid IPA with less of a focus on the big hops, and more on the balance - which works well! I sampled this pint on draught, while shopping for more beer, at Bottleworks in Seattle, Washington for US$4.00 on 10-February-2013.

Cask at the brewpub, 6% ABV, 8-4-8-5-17=42
Hazy golden color, with typical cask head, frothy, very persistent. The aroma is less powerful but more delicate than in the draught one, with nice fruitiness, yellow stone fruits. The mouthfeel is greatly improved, being smooth, and allowing the toffee flavor and malt to shine completely; the hopping is strong and delicate at the same time, perfectly complementing the malts. Balanced final.
Lovely.
Draught at the brewpub, 6% ABV, 8-4-7-5-16=40
Cloudy golden to light amber color; creamy head. Lovely aroma of fruity hops, citrusy. The body is lean, it has a very good toffee flavor, the hopping is perfect, powerful but not oppressive, with plenty of hop resins and bitter orange character.
Fresh and excellent.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe for Hopfest, pours hazy orange with a white head. Aroma of dry hops, orange peel and lemon zest. Flavour is very dry, with lemon / orange zest and citrus hops. Dry, zesty palate. Decent.

Cask @ Big Time. Cloudy sandy blonde colour with a thin head. Syrupy, slightly herbal hop character. Abundant dry hops in the cask win the aroma a nice score. Spicy, very herbal hop character. Some malt stickiness but only a little bit of pale malt character. Clean, light IPA. Really thick sheet of lacing down the glass, too.
