Draft pour pint at Tapped, Mill Creek. Clean and shiny golden appearance, crisp look, thin head. Lively carb, very modest aroma with some pils like grains, and a touch of grassy hops. Very muted. Light pale, very crisp. Cracker grains are flavorful up front, but fade quick. Slight plastic note. Definitely would pair better with a more typical summer heat, but indoors on a cool day, it's not as flattering as it probably could be. Overall, a nice brew when you are looking for something light but flavorful.

16 oz can poured to the signature Cloudburst glassware. Bright golden orange haze, thin foam head. Orange fruit forward nose, traces of pineapple. Very fruity hop profile, though clearly no fruit harmed. Slick body, on the creamier side, with a kate lingering tropical juicy note. Very easy drinking IPA. Very refreshing brew.

Draft pour at Teku Tavern. Bright, juicy golden orange pout, rocky head that fades. Big tropical refresher. Cool melon and juicy pineapple notes. Grain works to balance, and leaves a slight gritty linger. Drinks on the lighter side, smooth and easy drinking hazy, with hops being flavorful more so than bitter. Very tasty.

Draft pour pint at Special Brews. Bright glow, golden haze, cream foam head. Rich tropical fruit with a biscuit grain that slowly introduces. Juicy hazy with a fresh feel. Surprisingly bitter late palate for the style, moderately aggressive. Linger has me forgetting this is a hazy. Solid IPA all around.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Chuck's 85th. Fun to see a new lager from my favorite ale folks. Crisp taste, grassy hops to provide a nice bitter side. Cracker grains, refreshing and light in body. Barely a corn note late, but easily combated by a grassy hop profile. Perhaps the most sessionable Cloudburst product to date, minus the mild. Very nice.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Tapped, Mill Creek. Lighter golden haze, loose foam head that fades. Very balanced hazy, straw and biscuit grains with a juicy melon and citrus hop quality. Citrus forward aroma. Bitter bite, and not nearly as hazy tasting as it looks. Cool, fresh melon finish. Crusher, absolute refresher of an IPA. No surprises here from the locals that do it about as good as anyone.

Draft pour at Chuck's, 85th. Glowing juicy orange haze. Oranges, and cream aroma with a subtle grain. Otherwise ultimately juicy. Flavor has lots of orange fruit with a decent bitterness to pair. Cool taste. Has the distinct stone fruit quality of some of the down under hops. Mango juicy finish. Fun and unique brew. Very much enjoyed this.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Tapped, Mill Creek. Canned 3/5/24. Moderate cloudiness, otherwise bright golden pour. Pleasant aroma of tropical fruit and grassy hops. Sessionable feel, but full of flavor. Gentle stinging hop bitter. Balanced biscuit grain here, but the standout is the unique and flavorful southern hemisphere hop profile. Very tasty brew.

On tap at Cloudburst on Shilshole, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some tangy hops, some yeast soup, and biscuity malt. Flavour is clean and bright, with tangy hops, moderate bitterness, and crisp biscuity malt. Not the most expressive hop character, just crisp, bright and bitter. Decent.
