Clear copper-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of malt, fruit and hops. Light to medium body with flavors of roast malt, caramel and slight fruity hop. The finish is sweet with a caramel malt aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Quite hazy golden and super copper and even bronze-tinted body with a thinnish, one to two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of dank, floral and almost skunky, resinous hops with a nice malt backbone, some subtle alcohol and a dash of sugar. Medium-bodied; Strong rich malty bite at first that has a bit of biscuits and a grassy and herbal funky with some light yeast and a dash of bread and flowers with a kick of citrus, grapefruit and alpha acids, all from the hops, towards the finish. Aftertaste shows some grass, hay, floral dryness and a touch of light citrus fruits with a more pungent hop note from the aforementioned than from anything citrusey or juicy. Overall, a nice and very crisp and dry, flower and grass-forward beer that shows it's hop character and alpha acids that way, which is nice and relatively 'old school'. I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at GunSight Saloon in Columbia Falls, Montana on 27-July-2020 for US$5,00 after driving the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park with my family.Β

16 oz from a convenience store in Big Fork, MT. Aroma is Smarties, apricot, grain. Pours hazy light golden with a collapsing one finger bone-white head. Taste is moderately to highly sweet and savory with flavors of apricot. Refreshing, not bad. Edit: it really is too sweet, and I had to go back and bring the score down a little.

16 oz from a convenience store in Big Fork, MT. Aroma is biscuity malt, light pine, citrus--altogether kind of faint. Pours hazy golden with a long-lasting cream-white head that laces. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness with some candy sweet malt character alongside. Somewhat soft carbonation. Slightly above average straightforward West Coast style IPA.

On tap. (4.5% ABV) Pours a hazy pale orange-yellow with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Mild, sweet aroma of grainy wheat malt, orange and yeast. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, orange peel, coriander and yeast in a crisp, dry finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Refreshing, not bad.

On tap at Tamarack, pours a hazy amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma reveals sour red fruits, some balsamic and Belgian yeast. Flavour is quite tart, with tart stone fruits, Belgian yeast and some balsamic. Nicely constructed, with a tart, acetic finish. Not bad.
