On tap @ the brewpub. Pours clear gold with nice full bright white head. The aroma is mild bringing up some roast to grain malts and a hint of noble hops. It seems to have a standard pilsner taste but a bit long on the sugar sweet malts. It starts mildly grainy moving toward solid malt sweetness and a background of floral to spicy hops. Overall too sweet for my tastes. If it was a little less sweet it would be a solid offering in my opinion.

On tap @ the brewpub. Pours clear gold with bright white head and nice lacing. The mild aroma contains floral hops and some mild graininess and not much else. At times I had a difficult time smelling anything at all out of the glass. It has a solid lager flavor with sweet to mildly grainy maltiness balanced by chewy noble type floral and spicy hops. Nice session brew.

A big thank you goes out to riversideAK for this sample, a 12 oz brown bottle. Smells yeasty and perhaps citrusy at times. Dull copper appearance with little head when poured gently. Intial taste is medium hop bitterness then malts and even a hint of soap follows. Some smooth carbonation. A little mediciney on the finish, lingers a while.

12 oz bottle pours a clear deep amber with thin off white head. The aroma is figs and dates mixed with alcohol bringing up the rear. The taste begins both caramely sweet and dark – fruity with prunes, raisins and a bit of pepper. Then a mild mixture of caramel, roasted malts and toffee run the flavor up a notch or two. Toward the finish pine hop bitterness and a solid does of alcohol begin to bring the experience to a close. It starts very nice but ends a bit harsh.

On tap at Brouwer’s Café in Seattle where it was listed as “Maritime Pacific Dry Hopped Imperial IPA.”
It poured a crystal clear gold with lasting white head and sheet lacing. The aroma is pale sugary malts, some mild breadiness and faint vague hoppiness. The taste seems malty up front with sugary sweet malts and notes of bread. Then the hop ante up with vague tart bitterness initially then about midway some grapefruit hop bitterness surfaces. As the finish approaches the pine hop bitterness grows and heads right into the after taste. The pine really hangs around for a while. YUM.

On Tap at Maritime Pacific Seattle. Pours out a cloudy straw color topped with a fluffy white head. A very nice wheat aroma. A little light malt on it not bad.

On Tap at Maritime Pacific Seattle. Pours out a clear gold topped with a nice head. Light floral and citrus hop aroma. light bitterness. I would not guess it was a 2IPA. But a good IPA it would be.
