Draft pour at Brewmasters Taproom, Renton. Clean and clear golden orange pour. Patchy head and lacing. Aroma has some grassy hops with a touch of a tropical note. Flavor is veggie hops, with grassy follow. Slightly dank, with a bitter biting finish. Vegetable hops creep back in the late palate and leaves a bit of an odd lingering flavor. Overall not bad, just a few tweaks away I'd say.

On tap at Bickersons - Ballard, pours a jay blonde with a small white head. Aroma is infected as hell, with shitloads of diacetyl and who knows what else — holy hell this smells bad. Flavour is even worse, with truckloads of butter and other off-flavours. Fuck me. This is horrendous. How can you sell this?

On tap at Bickersons - Ballard, pours a cloudy milky yellow with a tiny head. Aroma is muted, with earthy notes and almost nothing else. Flavour is similar, with earthy hops, bready notes and chalk. Nothing off here, but it's chalky and gritty like so many other hazies. Ugh, not great.

On tap at Bickersons - Ballard, pours a clear pale copper blonde with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out gentle grassy and doughy bready malt. Flavour is sweet and malty, with bready malt, some grass, some herbal notes, and straw. Bready, sweet and okay-hopped. It's fine.

On tap at Bickersons - Ballard, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out feet, fungal notes, and some odd earthy, floral notes. Flavour is really unpleasant, with some buried phenols that completely destroy this. Jesus, this is bad.

On tap at Bickersons - Ballard, pours a hazy dull bronze with a small white head. Aroma brings out some overripe tropical fruits, some gentle dankness, and sweet bready malt. Flavour is sweet, syrupy and weirdly herbal. The hop character is sweet and bizarre. This just isn't good at all. The brewer clearly has no clue what he's doing.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. First try from these guys, after I just missed out on visiting the brewery a few months back. Dense, bright orange juicy haze, with lots of cream foam head and lacing. Really multi layered, creamy ripe fruit flavors come through on this hazy. Slightly sweet. Tons of tropical character. Refreshing, cool finish. About as fruity as an IPA can get with no fruit being harmed. Solid introduction to these guys.
