From tap at APEX, Portland. Big tropical fruit and pine aroma with grapefruit, sweetish fruits, orange, biscuity malt, pine resin. Flavour is moderate sweet with a long bitter dry-ish finish. Body is medium. Great balance, big tropical fruits, truly one of the finest IIPA’s. ♡♡♡ Enjoyed again from tap at Toronado, San Francisco. Just as good. ♡♡♡ 26-6-17 Enjoyed from bottle, bought at Russian River, Santa Rosa. Fresh bottle, so the beer comes out very good.

From tap at Russian River, Santa Rosa. Aroma is grainy with straw and hay, as well as mild grassy hops. Light sweet and bitter flavour with a medium body. Crisp and refreshing, a very fine grassy grainy Pils. That’s how it’s done.
