Growler night #16, picked up at Diamond Knot, Front Street. Cheers. W. Cool to finally try a brew that's been around the northwest for so many years. Darker copper reddish pour. Lots of caramel, bold bready malts, touch of bran. Flavorful bitter thoughout. Caramel malt forward finish. Fun brew, and unique to typical styles on your average taplist around here. Glad this classic has hung on all these years.

Draft pour pint to a mug at Diamond Knot, Mukilteo. Clean and shiny golden pour. Patchy head and lacing that lasts. Mild aroma of grassy and floral hops. Slight creamy body on the linger, but has a crisp first sip. Sharp floral hop bitter bite. Moderately aggressive and very flavorful. Not always crazy about this style, but very much enjoyed this one. Here's to the bones of Nellie Jones. She was a holy terror. Born a virgin, died a virgin. No runs, no hits, no errors. -DDT

16 oz can, from a 4 pack picked up at Martha Lake Market. Canned 3/20/24. Bright haze, juicy appearance. Flavor leans tropical fruit, with a very low bitter hop linger. Some melon, cool refreshing, juicy hazy IPA. After over a decade of enjoying aggressive bitter, bold industrial IPAs from these guys, this was a flavor profile I was surprised with. Overall, extremely refreshing. Solid hazy.

Black colour with light brown creamy head. Off-dry (and that residual sweetness is necessary here), loads of dark malts without being too roasty, some peppery notes in the background, resinous hops; most notably, it’s very smooth.
Very good.

Golden colour, clean. Mild aroma of malts. Biscuity malt base, off-dry but not weak, with hints of British yeast; balanced bitterness.
Not too authentic, not earthy like a British Bitter could be, but it’s a very clean brew.

Dark blond colour, clean, with creamy head. The malt base is crackery and bready, subtle sweetness, full bodied, good PNW hopping, piney and resinous; mst notably, the mouthfeel is very smooth.
Not the brightest one, but it’s a very enjoyable DIPA.

Smooth Undertow IPL (new) Golden colour, clean, with creamy head. Mild aroma of hops. Good strength, with lean mouthfeel; mild malt base, with delicate biscuit tones, which is pretty much what one could do for a strong IPL, without falling in some common traps; bold hopping, mostly old school PNW goodness, hop resins.
Very good.

Golden colour, clean, with creamy head. Modern West Coast IPA, dry but full bodied, with mild bready malt base, and bold, but balanced, resinous hopping, some piney hops.
There are brighter modern IPAs, that I would put above this one, but on its own it’s pretty good.

Cloudy blond colour with creamy head. The aroma is moderately juicy. Soft mouthfeel, some residual sweetness, but also some chalk, and light pith in the finish.
Good, but with some of the common NEIPA flaws.

Pale blond colour, hazy, greenish. It has a mild grassy aroma. Dry mouthfeel, mild crackery malts, ok bitterness (which means, not underhopped like the average American Lager).
Not bad.
