Draft pour pint at Toronado, Seattle. Not a brewery I would expect to roll out a beer for these guys, but certainly not complaining. Nice.juicy, citrus, grapefruit constant here, in a smooth, sessionable beer. Grassy hop constant. Melon and more juicy lemon and citrus lingering late. A nice beer here. Solid.

750 mL bottle poured at Chainline, Kirkland, and split with the nacho crew. Finally trying this beer, way later than I expected to. Dark copper brown pour with a thin, patchy head. Soft bourbon, toffee and chocolate aroma. Caramel, chocolate, slight coffee, nice bourbon barrel addition. Smooth and tasty. Maybe a little aging did this well. Very nice beer.

Draft pour pint at Chainline. A golden copper pour with a thin but lasting head. Brewery lists this as a Pale Lager, but full of hop aroma and flavor. Sweet and spicy malt plays a heavy role in the aroma. Cool, slightly rich malt flavor and finish, with a flavorful hop bitterness that lingers. Very easy to drink. No complaints with this. Solid beer.

On tap at Chainline, pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out some herbal, grassy hops, biscuity malt and some light tropical fruits. Flavour is along the same lines, with herbal, weedy hops, biscuity malt and some dankness. All over the place, as with all their IPAs. It's okay, but messy and lacking cohesion.

On tap at Chainline, pours black with a reddish tinge and a small beige head. Aroma brings out roasted malt, cocoa and a little lactose. Flavour is big, with medium roast, some cocoa and vanilla. Some lactose-like sweetness in back. Big and bold, with everything in good balance. Very nice.

On tap at Chainline, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out subdued piney hops, not much else. Flavour is similar, with piney hops, some citrus and toasted biscuity malt. Clashing notes all over, with an astringent finish. Not bad, but this is rather messy.

On tap at Chainline, pours a cloudy bright golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is very subdued, with a touch of citrus juiciness. Flavour is fairly dank and juicy, with piney and citrus hops, some tropical fruits and dry biscuity malt. Not the most cohesive beer but it works. Solid.

On tap at Chainline, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops and toasted biscuity malt. Flavour is fairly juicy but also messy and jagged, with citrus hops and toasted biscuity malt. Not overly well-integrated but inoffensive all the same.

On tap at Chainline, pours a hazy copper amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out light hop resins and toasted malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with a weird vegetal quality that isn't too inviting. Needs work.

On tap at Chainline, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out very subdued biscuity malt and light grass. Flavour is a little more robust, with lots of mineraly notes, some grass and crackery malt. Not a very robust or authentic pils, but it's decently constructed. Okay.
