Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound, Bothell. Shiny golden pour with a ton of cloud foam head. A pretty typical pale lager here for me. Soft cream corn. Straw nose. A bit on the plastic side for flavor. Has a refreshing side to it. Late corn reminder. Not too bad, but this is something I get for the rate, and only the rate. It can’t be easy to make a standout in this style, but this could have been much worse.

Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound, Bothell. First rate for these guys! Honored. Welcome! A solid IPA to be introduced to these guys with. Shiny golden pour with an active oily fizz head. Aroma, though very mild, is pleasant with some hints of citrus. Flavor is a really nice balance of juicy citrus hops and a caramel malt, lighter in body. A little better than your usual IPA i would say. Refreshing, and on point for a pint after work.
