On tap at Stoup - Ballard, pours a clear pale copper blonde with a small white head. Aroma has tons of dank hops, a terpene-like character, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is likewise quite dank, with huge pot-like hops, some pine, and dry biscuity malt. Very pot-like, dry, and oily finish. Good stuff but shy of their best of work.

On tap at Stoup - Ballard, pours a clear pale copper with a small white head. Aroma has light pine, earthy hops, and soft bready malt. Flavour is fairly timid, with gentle piney hops, earthiness, and bready malt. Not the brightest hop expression. It’s alright.

On tap at Stoup - Ballard, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has soft toasted grains, straw, and subdued earthy hops. Flavour is moderately bitter, with earthy hops, a touch of pine, and bready malt. Clean and crisp but uninteresting and unsophisticated. Meh.

On tap at Stoup - Ballard, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some unfermented wort, straw, and bready malt. Flavour is much the same, with some grassiness, light unfermented wort, straw, and bready malt. Has some flaws, as though it’s not quite finished yet. Okay.

16 oz. can, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a medium white head. Nose is very tropical, with tons of piney hops, citrus, and bright, juicy, tropical fruit (retaining that very west coast hop expression). Flavour is juicy and biting, with lots of citrus hops, tropical fruits, pine, and a touch of dankness. Biting, juicy and vibrant hop expression. Excellent.

16 oz can from a little wine shop named Sauvage Zsa next to Whistle Punk in Spokane. Aroma is dark bread, toasted marshmallow, roasty. Taste is bittersweet with roasty, bready flavors.

On tap at Fountain, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma almost has a sweeter stone fruit character but then there’s a nice piney hop character underneath. Flavour is more on the soft piney hop side of things, with a NZ hop tanginess, and subtle crisp biscuity base. Really nicely constructed, well-hopped, and eminently drinkable.

16 oz can picked up at Norm's Market, Lake Stevens. Clean and clear, bright golden, thin head that slowly fades. Piney, dank hop nose. Flavorful west coast with a biting bitterness. Gentle malt background that sits well behind a heavy but intriguing hop profile. Solid choice of hops are your go-to, and refreshing enough to pour as a year round offering. Very nice.

Bright gold. Medium head. Sticky sweet but also a decent herbal hop, touch of weed and a hint of citrus. Want to dry this out a bit.

Pale with a slight haze. Sage, thyme, some sticky malt. Decent but definitely would prefer drier.
