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.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Special Brews. A mostly clean golden pour, subtle cloudiness, thin rocky head that lingers. Aroma is very nice, with some grassy, mild dank hops, a touch of citrus note. As nicely balanced as they get, with some biscuit grains paired with an intriguing citrus and grassy paired, low bitter hop profile. Drinks like a more gentle pale, despite its near imperial strength. Nothing about this is anywhere near east coast, and it's refreshing. I love this one.

Opaque and blonde. Fairly thick head. Big, bright hop aroma with white grapefruit, apricot, pear, a bit of weed and a decent pine accent. So it's pretty appetizing. Medium body, fairly bitter, mild pale malt as is the way with Cloudburst, but a bright, complex hop note. There's no let down in the hops from aroma to palate. I've had some excellent IPAs from Cloudburst over the years and this is one of the best yet.

16 iz can poured, picked up at Special Brews. Dark cola brown pour, plenty of lasting head. Sweet milk chocolate, tootsie roll nose. Flavor is slick and a tad sweet, with a cool and rich cocoa note, and a soft complimenting toasty malt. A little coffee on the gentle palate. Rich reminder late, but this doesn't quite reach dessert beer status. Fun beer here, and quite the unique addition to a usually hop forward Cloudburst lineup.

16 oz can picked up at Special Brews. Pours a cloudy golden with plenty of loose foam head. Hop bill is moderately aggressive bitter, leaning on the floral side, with a juicy tangerine pair. Sharp taste, balanced linger. Bold and enjoyable IPA. Another winner from these guys.
