Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond colour with creamy head. It’s moderately juicy, creamy, but also a bit chalky, with some astringency in the finish; compared to the Lunar Wizard side-to-side, this is a bit more citrusy.
Good, but with some of the common NEIPA flaws.

Hazy amber colour, with creamy head. The body is there, the sweetness is minimal, so at least it’s not cloying, it’s a bit more spicy than other beers from the brewery, and the hop resins seem to be underscored by that, but overall it’s not a favourite.
Good on its own.

Hazy to cloudy blond colour with creamy head. It’s a it spicier than the other NEIPAs, but it comes with similar flaws (chalk, astringency, pith, although mild), and the hop is moderately juicy, but not fully expressive.
Ok beer, for a style that the world thought was defunct.

Enjoyed on draft at Diamond Knot, MLT. Awesome to be enjoying this classic NW brew at the source, and finally rating it! Copper, very pour, clean. Off white foam. Caramel and bready malt nose. Flavor has a bit of a bite, which I enjoy. Bitter front, bready malt flavor, with a somewhat dry, and easy finish. Drinks under its strength. Smooth and solid warmer. Very nice.

Draft pour enjoyed at Diamond Knot, MLT. Tried side by side with their west coast IPA in another battle of the coasts. Really solid side by side here. Moderate haze, juicy golden appearance. Lots of sticky lacing and foam head. Tropical constant with this hazy. In no way sweet. Peel bitterness, stone fruit juice, gentle grain finish. Equal parts bitter, amd juicy. Smooth, slick hazy. Very nice.

Enjoyed on draft at Diamond Knot, MLT. Pours a clean copper color eith a patchy foam. Really citrus forward west coast, and a huge jump away from the regular IPA profile from these guys. Tons of fruity grapefruit and zesty peel bitterness that lingers. Juicy, low sweet citrus constant. Lots of juicy hops. Flavorful, refreshing, bold and juicy all at the same time. Very well put together brew here.

Draft pout enjoyed at Diamond Knot, MLT. Ordered assuming golden ale, and first sip, definitely Belgian Golden. Clean, shiny gold appearance, sticky head and lacing. Some sweet banana like notes on the aroma. Floral and banana flavor, with an icy cool finish. Flavorful and refreshing golden here. Really enjoyed this.

Bomber. Aroma is bready, lime, floral, Smarties. Pours nearly clear deep golden with a one+ finger cream-white head with excellent retention. Taste has a moderate malty sweetness backed by a mild herbal hop bitterness with flavors of bready malt, lime, herbal hops. Nice creamy mouthfeel. Not bad at all.

Sampled from the tap at the Edmonds Oktoberfest. Pours a clear yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has straw and grain with grass and a hint of lemon underlying. Flavor combines straw and grass with hay and lemon backing.
