650mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark-ish golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of juicy mango, some orange juice, and citrus hops. Flavour is loaded with bitter citrus rinds, very bitter piney hops, and biscuity malt. Very bitter citrus rinds -- a bit much in the bitterness, but it's not bad.

Amber colour. Thin head. On the nose, it's got some floral, juicy orange notes. Moderate bitterness, has a nice orangey hop note. Not bad stuff.

Hazy blonde, thin head, the nose has a hit of butter, maybe a touch of pale malt, but this cannot overcome the diacetyl. Well, their ales are decent, anyway.

I had to laugh when I overhead someone saying "I can't believe they'd admit to brewing Northwest IPA." Hazy, dull amber, not much head. Chewy pine and orange hops. Good for the style but I’m unaccustomed to the chewiness!

Cask. Medium brown with a bubbly cask head. Phenolic (unpleasant) and phenolic (smoke) combine on the nose. Soft body, just a light smoke. Thin cocoa malts - clearly imperial porter faking being a Baltic - and a whack of alcohol in there as well. So weak base beer, the smoke isn't that great and not the style of beer advertised.
