On tap at the Brewpub. A bit hazy golden with a white head. Fresh with hops, apricot and light malt. Kind of easy to drink.

355 ml bottle into shaker. Full-on nose! Cheese, wood shavings, pineapple, lemon sherbet! Amazing! Looks cloudy orange with fluffy white head and many tiny bubbles. Laces well. Flat mouthfeel, oily texture. Finish is plastic, resin, grapefruit, dough. There’s a diminishing white wine grape note that becomes sweeter right at the end. I think 5 different hop varieties are playing tricks on me, great beer. Evolving taste is hard to pin down but I like it!

Medium orange with a tall pillowy head. Heavy malts over this bitter orange and citrus hopped DIPA. Some light floral notes. A bit sweet, fruity, and bitter. A slightly off-putting finish, however, makes this not one I’ll be coming back to very often. Still, decent enough.

Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours gold with a slight white head. Aroma is sort of creamy citrus. Yeah, makes no sense, but it’s what came to mind. Med body. Flavor is quite citrus, even zesty, but there’s a balancing sweetness. Not a lot, but it’s there. Still it’s decently bitter - just not NW over the top. Not sure, no I’m sure, it’s pretty tasty, just rather different. Think I’m getting some light stone fruit. Fruity bitter finish. Someone either really knows their stuff, or got very lucky! Now I’m really liking it.

Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks kerenmk. Cloudy yellow. Aroma of kinda stale hops and a vegetal touch. Flavor has sweetish malt, a bit of marmalade, a bit of vegetables, stale citric hops, and a bitterish finish. Medium-bodied.

Sample during the 10th Annual Day Before Labor Day Party on 09/06/2015. Clear reddish-amber color with a medium thin light beige head that dissipates quickly to a wispy film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Malt, fruit and caramel in the nose. Medium to full body with flavors of caramel malt, cherry and slight hops. The finish is chewy with a fruity and malty aftertaste. Decent overall.
