Poured from a 32 oz crowler filled yesterday. Aroma is that of a classic west coast IPA. Lots of grapefruit, tangerine, pine and resin. Medium light cracker malt notes with hints of biscuit and light caramel. Pours a fairly clear, bright gold with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that exhibits nice retention as it slowly but steadily recedes to a thin film on the edges. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor has a light sweetness and a fairly dry finish. Medium light cracker malt notes with hints of biscuit and caramel. Fairly strong to strong bitterness and a hint of alcohol spice. Lots of grapefruit, lemon, tangerine and pine hop notes. Lingering resin and bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice classic ipat. Good hop flavors and aromas but with a balanced hop profile and a fairly assertive bitterness.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours very hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is very fruity - guava! Med body. Flavor is guava milkshake- but there’s bitter citrus/pine. Malt is ignorable - just enough to support. Super quaffable. Delicious.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours light clean, slightly silvery gold with a decent foamy white head. Aroma is very light “malt” - not exactly malt, but can’t put a name to it. Not quite med body. Flavor is arguably a bit ricey, but it’s crisp and clean. Not not much hop, but it’s a good drinker. Pretzel beer.

Tap at the brewpub. Served with a lime wedge. With wedge removed: Amber pour with a white head. Malty aroma. Med body. Flavor is bready, slightly slightly toasty/roasty malty. An amber/Vienna it is, but it is clean and does not have that nauseous chocolate aspect many have for me. This really is a very good drink - this from the guy not fond of Viennas.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours very hazy juicy orangey gold with a white head. Aroma is juicy orange. Med + body. Flavor is juicy orange with a “cream” aspect. Drier than many; hoppy; more than moderately bitter, but not harsh. Orange, creamy, soft it is. Nice.

Crowler from the brewpub. Pours translucent gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is citrus, but there seems to be a touch of green melon. Lots of hop. Med + body. Fairly dry. Very hoppy - at least near dank. Pretty bitter. Flavor is citrus/evergreen/melon or something like that. Somewhat earthy. Just enough malt for support. Good stuff.
