16 oz. can, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops, light biscuity malt and a hint of fruitiness. Flavour is full of piney hops, light biscuity malt and gentle residual sweetness. Piney, lightly oily finish. Really well-done. Excellent.

Draft pour pint at Elliott Bay Pizza. Clean and shiny golden pour. A thin, rocky head. Really crisp front, cracker grains, and long lasting grassy, moderately bitter hops. Cool, crisp, and refreshing all around. Has a light feel, so this would work great in a six pack format with warmer weather coming. Slightest hint of citrus peel here. Bitterness really holds out until late in the palate. Very tasty brew here.

Draft pour pint at Elliott Bay Pizza. Clean and clear golden pour.lots of sticky head and lacing. This is what I look for in a west coast IPA. Clean and crisp front, with grassy, piney, gentle onion hops, and a good biscuit grain for balance. Sharp flavor up front, has a hop bite, but this is nowhere near intense at any point. Long lingering resinous pine. Absolutely on point IPA here.

Draft 12 oz pour enjoyed at Elliott Bay Pizza. Somehow missed this gem during all my visits to the brewery locations. Jet black pour. Thin, active fading cola head. Very layered imperial here. Lots of dry oak up front. Toast, chocolate follow with a steady dose of bourbon notes without getting too hot. Lingering palate has a maple note, with more smooth bourbon notes. Finishes on the dry side as well. Warming feel without the flavor being to aggressive or harsh. Overall a really well executed stout here. Need some variants of this excellent base brew.

On tap at Stoup, pours a clear reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out medium roast, straw and whispy wheat. Flavour has a nice roasted character, with whispy wheat and almost a burnt character. Very clean and nicely made for such an expectedly boring style.

On tap at Stoup, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle dankness, light piney hops, and a crisp dry biscuity malt base. Flavour is tangy and dank, with a nice dank hop character, some tanginess, and biscuity malt to back. Tangy, citrus and competently balanced. Nothing amazing but super competently made. Good.

On tap at Stoup, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out that frozen cryo character, with light allium and some dankness. Flavour is robust, with plenty of dank hops, frozen cryo notes, and biscuity malt. Seems there's a bit of hopburn here that you'd normally get from a hazy. It's decent; just please don't make cryo hops a thing for WCIPAs.
