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.

Dark brown. Nitro head. Toasty, slightly nutty aroma. Ok, a bit muted from the nitro, but civilized.

Tart, lactic, kind of basic, not getting a big mixed ferm character. So it’s clean, okay, but not going anywhere.

Gold and bright. Medium head. Lots of pale malt, good bread, mellow herbal hop. On the hoppy side of maibock (it’s Stoup) but does it well.

Gold and bright. Kettle sour nose and it falls flat on the palate too. Also, not enough hop. It kind of gets nowhere.

Medium amber and bright. Medium head. Biscuity malt nose, light herbaceous hop. Mild fruitiness of yeast. A touch of crystal malt, moderate bitterness, slight marmaladey note. A very stoupaceous take on the winter ale, I like it.
