On tap at Elizabeth Station, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has a nice subtle dankness to it, piney hops, and soft doughy, bready malt. Flavour is very fresh and clean as hell, with a wonderful mix of doughy malt, piney hops, and dankness. Masterful fresh hop WCIPA here. Everything is how I could hope. Finishes moderately bitter, vibrant and doughy. Excellent.

Draft pour pint at Elliott Bay Pizza. Clean and bright golden pour, plenty of cream foam head. Ultimate piney hop aroma. Very inviting. Crisp front with a smooth tasting transition. Grassy and piney hops, cool and very fresh feel. Bitterness seems to creep back on the palate. Mildly aggressive piney bitter hops. Solid collab from very trusted IPA makers here. Love this.
