Draft pour pint at The Bine. Matchless still killing it with the IPAs. A bright, hazy golden orange pour. This really has a sweet side, but it's not much of a bother. Ripe fruit. Juicy orange and tropical aroma. Thick body. Some banana and pineapple notes. Refreshing double. Enjoyed this.

Draft pour at the Redhook BrewLab, Seattle. A peach golden orange color pour, quick fading head. 0 IBU. Interesting, and for some reason, caught my eye on the menu right away. Tart, ripe fruit aroma. Flavor is a candy sweet fruit. Kiwi? strawberry and watermelon too? Kool Aid like flavors going on. Hmm. Mellow as expected from a berliner. Flavorful for a light beer. Good, but for some reason, different than what I expected.

@ Beer Junction. Opaque, medium head. Very papaya, bitter, grapefruit, a touch doughy but pretty tasty with big bright.

Had this at Three Magnets. Hazy and quite pale. Kettle, kinda funky- pedio. One note sour that’s thin and has pedio. A miss.

Tap Station Seattle: pours hazy orange with white head. Aroma is light tropical fruit, plenty of citrus. Taste is fruity and lightly bitter. Very light and very smooth to drink. Some planty and bitter finish. Good overall.

Draft 20 oz mug, poured at The Bine, Bothell. First visit! A shiny caramel copper pour with a thin fizz head. A nice warm caramel malt aroma. Very grainy nose, but in all the right ways. Flavor is a ton of bold malt, slightly sweet, but just barely enough to notice. A smooth balance of flavors, that I’d love to find on cask. Fun to discuss this absolute agreement on the subject with luttonm. This is what an ESB should be like, and it’s awesome to see that Matchless is killing it in multiple styles, even the ones that are difficult to do so. Very impressed with this one.

Tallboy from Andrew. Super happy Andrew sent me the new hot shit from Seattle. As usual for Seattle, disappointed. Fruit my ass. Decent, moderately bitter IPA with some fruit essence but mostly bitterness and generic American hops. 737313

Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound. A creamy, hazy orange juice pour with a thin, active fizz head. These guys really have something going here. So cool to see new breweries popping up, and are at elite status immediately in quality like these guys. Juicy orange cream aroma. Flavor is a ton of citrus over any thing else, as well as orange, ripe tropical fruit, and a cool finish. Creamy for sure. Bitter juicy hops. Labeled here as a NE style, but nails the "East meets West" style in my opinion. As far as taste goes anyway. Another gem from these guys.

Draft pour pint at Chucks, Central District. Mostly clean golden pour with a thin, fading head. Soft straw forward aroma, some light hop addition. Clean and crisp pils. A ton of straw, but not offensive. Cool finish. A little plastic, but not enough to really bother. Refreshing enough for the style, but just alright overall for me.

Draft 10 oz pour at Elizabeth Station, Bellingham. Went the wrong direction, and still ended up finding a Matchless I missed. A hazy golden orange pour with an active fizz ring head. Incredibly juicy citrus hop aroma, true grapefruit. Juicy fruit constant. Extremely well made pale here. So juicy and delicious. Better with each sip. Loved it n
