On tap at Gruff. Pours light gold with a white head. Damp, ashy wooden smoke on the nose. Flavour has a present, but half-assed smoked quality. It had the basic malt and hop qualities of a craft beer, but none of the finesse.

On tap at Gruff. Pours a murky gold with a white head. Woody pine and sweet biscuit malts on the nose. Flavour has allium and dry pine. Not bad, hops are solid; my appreciation grows; it's a good IPA.

6.4/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
On tap at Gruff, pours a lightly hazed golden with a small white head. Aroma is a hit muddled, with earthy hops and bready malt. Flavour is odd, with a bready malt base, muddled earthy hops, and light bitterness. Seems more dry malt-driven. Clean enough, just not the type of WCIPA I’d go for.
