On tap at Cloudburst - Shilshole, pours a clear pale blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out bready malt, toasted biscuity malt, and straw. Flavour has a nice bready maltiness, toasted caramel, and very gentle crispness. Clean, malty and crisp. Very nice.

On tap at Cloudburst - Shilshole, pours a clear pale blonde with a medium white head. Aroma has lots of toasted grains, biscuity malt, and a touch of gritty grassiness. Flavour is crisp, with grassy hops, moderate bitterness, and crisp crackery malt. Wouldn't have guessed this was fresh hopped. But it's solid.

Opaque, thin head. Light stone fruit, mild malt, touch of stone fruit. Hop burn. I guess it’s about the norm for cloudburst.

Draft 8 oz pour at Chuck's CD. Clean and bright golden pour, thin but lasting head. Big dank bite here, lots of hops, and none going to waste. Very flavorful, with a bright bitterness. Citrus peel and some fruit punch sit in front of a piney constant. This is probably where Cloudburst shines the most. Delicious west coast with all the classic hops. Awesome.

Draft pour pint at Tapped, Mill Creek. Something unique about this New Zealand IPA substyle, and this one captures all the great things about it. Juicy front, with bitter piney and citrus hops that follow. A biting hazy. Bitter like a west coast, and ultimately refreshing. Hybrid of three different IPA styles maybe? This is awesome.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Special Brews. Always on board with a single hop showcase, and not sure if I've seen one with this variety before. Not as the solo or main event anyway. Bright golden orange haze. Lots of lasting loose foam. Drenched grains, gentle floral hop aroma. Slick body, very easy drinking, hop forward brew with low bitterness. Floral hops first, gentle citrus follow through. Lighter taste overall compared to other Cloudburst IPAs. Fun, tasty brew.

Draft pour pint at Chuck's Seward Park. Glowing golden orange haze. Juicy body, slick taste. Melon and juicy citrus hop profile. Smooth taste, lighter feel than it's 7+ bill. Cool, gentle bitter finish. Fun layer of classic hops in this juicy forward brew. Very tasty.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Special Brews. Gentle haze, more of a golden glow, with a patchy foam head. Lots of citrus hop aroma with a little lemon, a little lime, and a little of everything with that citrus description. Cool and flavorful IPA with mow to moderate bitterness. Soft melon note, and a barely gritty grain peeks in. It's slick and easy drinking. It's borderline imperial, but I'd never guess it. The only real bitterness this carries is a late palate remainder. Overall, another solid one here.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Special Brews. Canned 6/25/24. Clean and shiny golden pour, rocky foam head, sticky lacing. Really nice west coast IPA with a little of both old school and new with the hop profile. Piney hop oil front, moderately bitter, soft melon like sweet character as well. Bold and biting piney hops fill the palate. Grassy throughout. No surprise with the DDH here, as the hop quality is layered and unique. Love this brew. A stand out amongst the other cloudier IPAs from my favorite guys in my local.
