Bottle form LetsPour. Pours crystal clear orange with a large off white head that is creamy, dissipates slowly, and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is pine, passion fruit, dank grapefruit. Flavor is light sweet, medium bitter, dank and tropical happiness. Medium body, oily mouthfeel. Lingering bitterness. Nice effort.

Light amber color. Fairly perfumy nose with mandarin oranges, pineapples and grapefruit. Very hoppy nose. The mouth is well balanced with a good pale malt backbone and a touch of caramel. Moderately hoppy aggressive finish. Decent stuff.

Light body, very wheaty character with a touch of straw. Decent amount of hops. Good character for a crystal Weizen, but still fairly straight forward simple beer.

I received this in a trade.
I poured this into a tulip.
There is no date on it.
The appearance is a clear amber to light red in color. There is a fluffy white one and a half finger head that dissipates within about a minute in spots but maintains a lumpy sort of look in other spots. Decent carbonation is seen rising at a moderate pace.
The smell has a fair amount of honey flavored citrus hops with a decent herbal to earthy dank aroma combining and backing it all up into a nice tight fulfilling quality. Very nice!
The taste is combined well between the citrus hops and the honey to showcase a very nice bittersweetness. The aftertaste is honey sweet with a quick dry sweet finish.
On the palate, it sits about a medium in body with a decent sharpness from a normal DIPA but still leads me on with a nice \"West Coast\" maltiness that is somewhat smooth and ends up coating my mouth and tongue with a touch of honey.
Overall, I get it. This is a very nice West Coast DIPA that is very reminiscent of Hopslam but in the West Coast sort of way. By all means, I would have this again in a heartbeat.

I received this in a trade. I poured this into a tulip.
The appearance is a somewhat hazy golden yellow almost orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dies within less than thirty seconds. The lacing is slight and tight clinging differentially in spots around the sides of the glass.
The smell is a blend of vinous materials such as wine grapes up front and tries to add an earthy funky element of some wheat and barley.
The taste is vinous and dry very much like wine. There is no aftertaste and it has a super dry wine-like finish.
On the palate, it sits about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionable quality to it. The carbonation is severely harsh as I can tell its pounding my mouth and tongue into submission.
Overall, this isn’t exactly a good saison. Its more like wine in disguise. It was nice to get it in a trade but no way I’d have this again.

22 oz bottle. Pours light with a grassy, slightly hoppy aroma. In my experience, a lot of pilsners don’t have as much flavor as I had with this one. This being the case I really enjoyed this. Could potentially get me back in to the style. Bready flavor, with a little corn and some light hops. Very smooth refreshing beer to go with this nice sunny day. Great beer, get it while you can.

Draught at King’s Hardware, Seattle
Amber color with compact head. The aroma is hoppy, a bit fruity. Dry and lean mouthfeel, toasty malts flavor, and good bitterness level; the hops are quite resiny.
Nice.

Nitro draft pour at the brewery. Thick cream head with a rich chocolate aroma. Roasted coffee beans with a hint of vanilla cream. Roasted coffee and caramel finish. Very flavorful. Solid, very drinkable stout. Great job on this one.

Bottle pour. Pours copper with a nice, tart aroma. A wheaty, slightly sour flavor with a spice finish. A little bland overall, but not too bad. Different. Enjoyable.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Nose brings out biscuit malt, piney hops, and dry zesty notes. Flavour is very dry, with biscuity zesty malt, floral hops, and herbal piney notes. Very smooth and dry. Great IPA.
