16 oz. Aroma is bready, grainy, overripe grapefruit. Pours hazy golden with a one finger cream white head with good retention. Taste has a moderate bitterness with flavors like the aroma. Underwhelming considering the talent involved. It’s only two months old, but it tastes older. Not sure if it was stored properly or not.

Pint can. Deep golden orange pour with a large sandy head. Aroma is potent with hop octane. Sweet citrus and pine resin. Flavor is moderately sweet and the bitterness is well tempered. Citrus and pine abound, a little dank and a sturdy malt base. Very solid big beer.

Taster at Growler Guys Richland. Yellowish pour with a creamy white head. Light citrus and grassy aroma. Light sweetness and a modest hop bitterness to go along with a subtle malty background. Good hop flavors, citrus and pine.

Jet black with a decent beige head. Lots of coffee. Nice coffee, a touch burnt, dark chocolate and a long bitter finish. Very coffee forward.

Draft at Yakima Public House. Pours a light yellow color with a slight haze, modest white head. Aroma is grassy, a little citrus and herbal bits. Tastes lightly sweet with moderate bitters. Medium bodied, maybe even a little heavier than expected. Aside from the finish being a little abrupt its a nice IPA and feels more sessionable than 7%.
