16 oz can. Aroma has notes of cantaloupe, crackery malt, orange, pineapple, cannabis, pine. Pours nearly clear with lots of floaties hanging in suspension underneath a one+ finger cream white head with great retention. Taste has a moderate to high pithy bitterness that lingers on the palate long after the swallow. Piney, citrus pith flavors.

On tap at Bale Breaker / Yonder taproom. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Bright, dank pine on the nose. Flavour has a really nice, clean dank piney hop expression and a light, doughy fresh hop character. Very nicely done.

On tap at Bale Breaker / Yonder taproom. Pours clear gold with a white head. Tons of bright pine and sweet malts on the nose. Flavour has a great fresh pine character, full of sharp pine but with no bitterness. Fantastic.

Sweet northwestern love. This is just what I was hoping for on my layover at Seatac. Pine and grapefruit on full expression here. A little lemon. Medium body and plenty of bitterness. I could drink this all day. I wish these guys distributed to DC.

16 oz can from a four pack. Picked up at Kaniksu Brewing. Aroma is floral, citrus peel, biscuity malt. Pours lightly hazy golden with lots of floaties and a two finger cream white soapy head with excellent retention, leaving patchwork lace on the glass. Would be a perfect score for appearance if it wasn’t for those unappetizing chunks of sediment floating around. Taste has a moderate drying bitterness with pithy citrus hop character.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Clear, pale golden pour, foamy white head settles out quickly. Light hoppy aroma, piney, pale malts. Taste is mildly hoppy with a kind of oily feel that dries out slowly.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Seattle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is dank AF, with huge pot-like hops, pine, and light biscuity malt. Flavour is likewise dank as hell, with huge pot-like hops, big piney hop bitterness, and a dry biscuity malt base. Piney, dank, pot-like finish. Excellent.
