Pint can from the M & K Town Store in Chehalis. Hazy golden color with a thick creamy head. Sweet hoppy flavor with a modest bitter finish. Aroma is a bit mild, tropical and somewhat grassy. Citrusy and lightly tropical. Creamy mouthfeel and very easy drinking. Solid flagship ale.

16 oz can poured at Hop and Hound. Bright, glowing golden haze. Cream foam hear, sticky lacing. A big dose of sweet, juicy fruit. Lots of orange fruit, also a little sour on the late palate. A bit of a resinous, chalky finish. So much nectarine here. Absolutely nothing subtle about it. I always wish for a hint on beers like this, and this one was a little extreme. Juicy and flavorful to say the least. Too much?

16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. These guys climb up my gotta visit this brewery someday rankings with every new brew I try. Clean golden pour. Subtle grain, and grassy hops introduce this classic IPA nicely. A moderate to heavy bitter front. Nice bite. Citrus peel like hop flavor and bitterness. Sharp front, but a creamier palate. Well balanced, tasty PNW IPA here. When traveling, I'd show off an IPA like this from my local.

Not much funk or vanilla, but nice slightly tannic, slightly tart, wild jam. Some oak and white wine hangs on the finish.

500 mL bottle poured. Aged for a little while in the cellar. Not quite sure how long. Beautiful bottle, equally attractive pour. Really nice layered brew, full of flavor. Nice barrel character. Blends of both rum and whiskey barrels work nicely. Lingering cocoa finish. A really smooth imperial here. Inviting whiskey aroma. This brew was quite the treat. Excellent.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. Canned October 2020. This is sadly my first try of the series, and I say sadly, because this is so good, and I have certainly been missing out. Darker, ruby red pout, an off white, active foam head. I didn't get the vanilla on this at first, but after a few sips, it starts to jump out. Raspberries are tart, jammy, very flavorful. Inviting sour red berries aroma. Somewhat intense sour here. 8/10 sourness. Soft wine notes here. A nice balance of flavors. These guys get more impressive with every brew I sample. Hope to visit the brewery in a couple weeks if the laws allow it.
