On tap at Saraveza for the 7th IIPA Fest, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of melon, with bright tropical fruitiness and light lacto. Flavour is bright, with notes of melon, other tropical fruits and citrus. Finishes dry and citrusy, with a fruity finish. Nice stuff.

This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a thin white foamy head that dissipated at a quick pace. Barely any lacing.
The aroma starts off with sweet danky onion over top of sweet papaya, guava, pineapple to run into each other mainly in a sweet sort of sly breadiness underneath.
The flavor bridges the gap between the a nice sweetness to bitterness coming about. Balanced aftertaste swarming into a sweet to underscored bitter sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation rides nice and low.
Overall, it’s a good American IPA that I would have again.

Draught @ Bailey’s Taproom, Portland, OR. Pours orange with a smooth head. Aroma of fruits, grapefruit, citrus, tropical notes, pine and grass. Taste is sweetish, juicy and slightly stuffy with some fruits, grass, pine and citrus. Finish is crisp, hoppy and grassy with some citrus, pine and grapefruit. A bit too sweet.
