4oz pour at the Ballard location. Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma is doughy, herbal, fresh grass; some bandaids. Flavour has doughy fresh hops, pine, and lots of farmhouse dryness [not really sure what I meant by that]. Quite nice.

16 oz can poured, picked up at the local walk in gas station beer fridge. Clean and crystal clear pour with a thin head. Very refreshing lager. Very soft corn and steady and cool straw grains. Very easy drinking. No lime needed. Pair this with anything spicy or any sunny setting.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Seattle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has dank hops, some pine, and a bit of hopburn. Flavour has tangy citrusy hops, biscuity malt, and some oily pine. A bit too tart but I guess that's from the citrusy. Punchy, piney and dank. Good stuff.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Seattle, pours a clear pale golden with a small white bead. Aroma is full of dank hops, doughy malt, and a touch of oily pine. Flavour is dank as hell, with fresh pot-like hops, huge dankness, and just enough biscuity malt. Dank and fruity as hell. Lovely.

On tap at Bale Breaker - Seattle, pours a minimally hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is a bit murky, with earthy hops, bready malt, and muddled notes in general. Flavour is much the same, with muddled notes, earthy hops, and bready malt. Muddled, earthy and lacking concerted hop character. Meh.
