On tap at Cloudburst - Shilshole, pours a clear amber red with a small white head. Aroma reveals resinous hops, bready malt and a touch of dried toffee. Flavour is dry and hoppy, with big resinous hops, some light pine, and dry bready malt. Resinous and dry, with a thin body that lacks a bit of body. Good but not quite what it could be.

On tap at Cloudburst - Shilshole, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma brings out oats, medium roast, and a touch of sugars. Flavour is big and oaty, with thick roasted malt, oats, and some burnt sugars. Very hearty and oaty. Great stuff.

On tap at Cloudburst - Shilshole, pours a somewhat hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma doesn't smell that Nelson-centric — lots of dank hops instead, with a crisp biscuity malt base. Flavour is dank as hell, with lots of pot-like hops, minimal oils, and crisp biscuity malt. Finishes dank and bitter with good construction. I don't get the Nelson; it just seems very dank. Good stuff.

On tap at Cloudburst - Shilshole, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out unfermented wort, grassy hops, and straw. Flavour is moderately bright and crisp, with straw, biscuity malt and gently bitter hops. Not that bright or crisp, but clean enough. Fairly lacklustre but decent enough.

On tap at Cloudburst - Shilshole, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out bready malt, subtle dank hops, and a touch of resinous hops. Flavour is a bit muddled, with earthy hops, a hint of dankness, and bready malt. Muddled and murky. It's fine.

On tap at Cloudburst - Shilshole, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is fairly restrained, with gentle piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is gently oily, with piney hops, crisp biscuity malt, toasted grains, and straw. Piney, slightly oily, and crisp. Biscuity finish. Decently made but fairly underwhelming hop character. Decent.

Can. Pours unclear golden yellow, medium white head, dissipates slowly, good lacing. Aroma is a bit dank, leafy, pine, over ripe fruit. Flavor is light sweet, light plus bitter. A fair bit of harsh hop burn here. Medium body

Draft pour enjoyed at Cloudburst, Shilshole. Moderately hazy golden pour. Lots of head and lacing. First pour off this keg. Ripe tropical fruit, melon nose. Cream body, tropical tones, cool and smooth finish. Pretty easy drinking imperial hazy. Lots of fruity and melon flavor that lingers. Slick. Tasty.

Draft pour pint at Cloudburst Shilshole. Man I miss coming to Cloudburst all the time. Zero surprises this one won a silver. Only surprise is it didn't win gold.. clean copper pour. Thin head. Bold and spicy malts with a big grassy and piney hop balance. Lingering bitterness with moderate aggressiveness. Cool pine constant. Awesome for when you want a big and bold, well rounded, flavorful, tasty brew. Love this.

Crowler at Uptown. Pours a clear yellow hue with a small to medium white head. A light perfume and lemon oil nose. Mild bitterness, a lot of oily lemon zest, hints at more bitterness, the malt base is distracting and sort of too sweet, something just doesn't come together right. It's good, but hints at something much better.
