16oz @ Alex's becoming a former house. Packaged on 19-Dec-2023. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: tropical fruits, citrusy. Taste: along the same lines. Finishes with some fruity bitterness. Overall: good one, regardless of it being old.

16 oz can from Total Wine, Lynnwood. Labeled as both juicy and fruit forward, but this has a more west coast flavor profile in my opinion. Crisp and bitter hop front, with the slightest cool melon and juicy fruit following. Crisp element is constant. Lingering melon rind palate. Easy drinking IPA. I always like these single hop showcases, especially when it's a hop more on the unique side like here. Very tasty, and glad it hid the wider distribution.

16 oz can in a 4 pack. Juicy, tropical constant, refreshing hazy. Lighter feel, more mild body. Pineapple notes on aroma and flavor. Modest coconut hint on palate. Cool, melon and more tropical finish. All flavors are on the modest side, making this a light, easy drinking hazy to enjoy a couple with. Fun, tasty brew.

Draft pour enjoyed at Stemma. Reddish cooper appearance, rocky foam head. Lots of piney hop character. Bold and bitter constant. Cool, spruce like notes as well. Warming feel to this red IPA like brew. Very flavorful. Tasty!

Draft pour enjoyed at Stemma. Side by side with the mosaic fresh hop. Quite the smooth fresh hop here. Juicy body. Melon like hop profile. More of a grassy hop nose. Long lasting, mon rind bitter hop flavor. Really tasty and unique autumn brew here.

Draft pour enjoyed at Stemma. Somewhat cloudy and bright golden appearance. Rocky head. Thus beer is causing quite the debate at the table. For me, this is about as dank bud as a fresh hop gets. Grassy, pot hops, with a bold finish. Somewhat impressionable biscuit like grains in the background. Long lingering, sweaty hop profile. Dank dank dank. Interesting brew. Pretty good.

Draft pour enjoyed at Stemma. It was love at first sight with this lager. Lemon. Good! Cayenne. Good!!!! Lager. Gooooood!! Clean and clear golden pour. Patchy head. Starts off with a zesty, cool lemon note, and warms up with a well balanced pepper. Lingering, semi dry heat. Lager remains crisp, even with all the flavor. The balance is perfect. The drinkability is perfect. Must love pepper beers on this one, which I obviously do. Love lemon as well. Absolutely love this product here.

Poured from the tap. Slightly hazy gold with small white head. Citrus hops, stone fruit, hint of pine, malty backbone.

On tap at Stemma, pours a hazy bright golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out moderately juicy stone fruits, some dank hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is fairly bitter, with bitter citrus rinds, resinous hops, some pine, and juicy stone fruits. It has a pronounced astringency, almost buttery character in the finish that throws this off for me. Not great but not terrible.

Poured from the tap. Opaque pastel yellow with very minimal white head. Mostly pineapple, touch of orange, hint of coconut, not picking up the banana. Average.
