On tap at Bale Breaker - Ballard, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, some citrus, and biscuity malt. Flavour is dank, with seltzery notes, dank, pot-like hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Oily, seltzery finish. It's alright.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Ballard, pours a hazy full golden with a small white head. Aroma is gentle, with subtle spicy rye, very subdued hoppy bitterness, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is seltzery, with plenty of spicy rye, bittering hops, and crisp biscuity malt. A bit too seltzery, carbonated and dry. It's alright.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Ballard, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals dank, piney hops, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Flavour is bright, with plenty of piney hops, biscuity malt, light seltzery notes, and some bitterness. Crisp, bright and piney, but not particularly expressive complexity-wise. Good stuff.

16oz can pours out golden topped with a sand head. Nose is nice big pine citrus hops and a nice caramel malt. Taste is more of the nice pine citrus hop combo and a nice toasted caramel malt.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark gold with a moderate white head. Aroma of citrus/pine. Med body or more. Flavor is roasty malt supporting citrus/pine. Lightly malty; arguably dryish. No question about bitterness. It is bitter. Some toffee in the finish, but just a little. Very, very tasty.

16oz can from Hops & Bottles. Dark, clear golden pour, one finger foamy white head dissipates leaving lacing and a thin layer of foam. Malty aroma, hoppy, pine, earthy. Taste is sweet, malty, hoppy bite, piney. Very classic IPA vibe.
