Draft pour to a schooner at Maritime Pacific. Came here unexpectedly, and found a few unexpected beer styles. Very cool! I remember my last Bourbon aged IPA. They are few and far between, but always a unique treat. Aroma is very modest. Almost no indication of any barrel treatment. Tamed hops on the nose, I suppose. Flavor is incredibly smooth. I really like what the wood does to this IPA. No booziness transfers at all here. It's all flavor. A bit cool in the lingering flavorful finish. Finds the balance between a hoppy IPA, and a true whiskey taste without any harsh character. The flavor seems to come in waves. One sip is a full rich hop flavor, with the next being a true, smooth bourbon. Truly impressed with this offering. Loved it.

Draft pour pint at Maritime Pacific. I love puns and good beer both, so this series, along with the Regatta series, have been fun for me to enjoy. Not really the appearance I've come to expect from a hazy NE IPA, as this pours a half cloudy, half clear golden orange get with an active, thin fizz head. Taste and texture is on the creamier side. A citrus peel fronted flavor, with a matching bitterness. A nice hybrid between a hazy and a more classic feel with this IPA, in my opinion of course. In beers like this, I like to eliminate the style all together, and enjoy it as it should be. A good beer. Enjoyed this one.

Deep amber red color. Frothy whtie head. Light oranges, piney, hoppy nose with a hint of toffee and milk chocolate. Clearly a PNW winter warmer. Smooth rich mouth with lots of toffee, milk chocolate notes balanced by sufficient hops. Toffee Oranges and piney finish. Very enjoyable.

Draft 12 oz pour at Maritime Pacific, Ballard. Fun series, coming from the fan of both beer and puns. Hazy golden pour with a thin, oily head. Rating for the Mariners 5th Homerun of the year. Mitch again! Hazy golden pour. Melon hop like aroma. Flavor has a tropical note to it. Banana almost. Unique profile in an IPA. Packed full of flavor. Pretty good beer.
