5.1/10 Appearance 5 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 5 Overall 5.5
On tap at Cloudburst on Shilshole, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fairly muddled in hop expression, with earthy hops, not much else. Flavour is rather muddled, with earthy hops, some doughy notes, and basically just a muddled hop bill that obscures any character from the hop varietals. Not terrible but pretty underwhelming.
