On Tap at Elizabeth Station, Bellingham. Slight haze pale golden. Very slight lemon Berliner aromas. Pretty low sourness, and a touch of savory malt saltiness. A little bland actually.

Bottle from HomeBrewStuff. Ebony pour, small, silky beige head. Aroma is predominantly roast grains, minor coffee and chocolate. Taste also is roast grain bitterness, then lacto sweetness, then alcohol heat. Middle of the pack, but not a bad place to be.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy light amber color. The malt base is a bit toffeeish, the bitterness is strong, it has a strong resiny character, some bitter orange.
Nice IPA, a bit chewy though.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy blond color. Dry and mild, not much malt or hop to talk about.
Not bad, but quite basic.

Draught at the brewery
Like the barrel aged IPA, this as well is worse than the base beer. It’s a regular Brown Ale, with some residual sweetness, dark malts, a bit roasty, dusty and boozy.
Not too bad, but a bit chaotic.
