Draft pour pint at Tapped, Mill Creek. Mostly cleanoily golden orange pour. Thin head. Orange fruit hops to start, more of a grassy and citrus notes to follow. Moderately bitter orange peel and citrus fruit hops on flavor, with a good bite. Cool linger. Nice expression of the Strata hops, providing a nice showcase. Enjoyed this one.

4oz pour at Ballard location. Pours clear gold with small white head. Aroma has dry pine needles. Flavour has a nice chewy malt base, pine, grass. It's okay, but the profile does feel a bit flat.
