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.

On tap at the Ballard location. Appears hazy dark yellow with a white head. Aroma has fresh herbs and dankness up front, doughy malts, pine, citrus peel. Flavour has a lot of soft dank notes, some citrus. Very enjoyable.

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.
