Draft pour at 7 Seas, Tacoma. Finished the hike to the taproom, and this was a solid IPA at the finish line. Bright and ultimately clean golden amber pour, with a dense cream foam head. So much classic hop character here. Feels like the entire history of great PNW hop forward beers in one glass. Piney hops jump out up front, and remain modestly bitter and flavorful throughout the palate. Aroma is gently floral, but mostly forest pine as well. Subtle grassy finish, with a balanced bold and earthy grain. Hints of citrus peel dare to battle the pine. Just an overall badass, refreshing, delicious IPA. Hops don't need to be any more expiremental or fancy than this right here.
