500mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Nose has a nice bright hop tang, some green melon, and a touch of candied character. Flavour is not that obviously a NZ hop bomb—there’s some hop tang, citrusy hops, light, pine, and a biscuity malt. Not as much of a hop explosion as I hoped, but it’s a clean, well-constructed IPA. Good but underwhelming for Russian River.

510mL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. The nose is dank with nice tangy NZ hop expression and some light citrus notes. Flavour has a dank oily character throughout, bitter citrus peels, a bit of tang. It's very nice, but the hop expression leaves something to be desired.

A classic but subtle DIPA. Fresh and zesty grapefruit and orange hops blended perfectly with soft, sweet malt. Extremely clean and refreshing finish.

Wish it was a clear Russian River IPA beer.

Draft. Black beer with a tan head. Tart and dark fruit aroma with light spice. Sour and light chocolate flavor with dark fruit and red wine. Medium bodied. Sour and light acetic notes linger with red wine and chocolate.
