On tap at Cloudburst, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bitter floral hops, pine, and biscuity malt. Flavour is pithy and bitter, with lots of piney hops, pithy bitterness, and crisp biscuity malt. Sharply bitter and perhaps not as good well-calibrated as usual.

Back to Cloudburst = Back to rating. The best deserves it. 3pm on an uneventful Saturday, and the place is packed more than the Seattle Dragons inaugural home game. Super tasty IPA. Soft haze, golden orange. Quite a dank hop nose, some earthy grain balance. Smooth taste. Melon and citrus, with a far less than sharp palate. Cool and smooth drinking. Almost creamy. Lots of classic hops here, in a more modern IPA style, if I am here pretending to know what I'm talking about. Really, I just say all these things in total pretend mode. Seriously. I taste a beer, know I love it in this case, give a phony attempt at describing what I'm tasting, and that's that. These guys are the best at what they do. I mainly stopped rating beers regularly because I lost my hand written journal of beer notes somewhere in the San Francisco bay area. If anybody found it, they found tons of notes about how f'ing good Cloudburst beers are. Add this one to an already impressive lineup. Excellent IPA.
