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.
