On tap at Jellyfish, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals earthy hops, resinous hops, toasted caramel, and maybe traces of butter. Flavour brings out orange marmalade, obscured earthy hops, and toasted caramel. Too sweet, orangey, and not the best hop expression. Not my type of IIPA.

Draft pour pint at Broadview Taphouse, Seattle. A dangerously smooth imperial to be putting in full pints. This is gonna do some damage in this place. A mostly clean copper pour. Almost no head, odd appearance for an IPA of any sort. A strange berry like flavor profile here. Perhaps an odd combination of sweet malts and certain hops. Grape? Sweet boozy finish, but not too strong that it's hard to drink. It drinks quite nicely actually, just a very different flavor than what I'm used to in an imperial. Of course I'm not calling that a bad thing. Different is good. And fun. Rich malt lasting finish. Pretty good.
