From tap at Culmination, Portland. Aroma is fruity dark berries, currant, bready malt, with soft hoppy notes. Flavour is a little sweet from the fruits and mild bitter. Body is medium. Not as IPA as I expected, I’d call this Hopberry Pale Ale. Either way, this is pleasant.

From tap at Culmination, Portland. Aroma is soft fruity hops with biscuity malt, light fruity with a little pine and bready malt. Flavour is mild sweetish and medium bitter. Body is medium. Aroma made me think this was rather an APA, it’s a bit restrained.

From tap at Culmination, Portland. Collaboration with Portland-based ^5 Cider. Aroma is nicely juicy with strong tropical notes including mango and guava. Bit wheaty? Flavour is tart and light sourish. Body is light to medium. Easy light fruit sour, As Tampert would say: Ein Tropical Drink.

On tap at brewery. Pours clear yellow with white head. Aroma has dank oily pine and light orange peel. Flavours are similar but are offset by some acrid diecytal. Infected.
