On tap at the brewpub. Smells of sweet hoppy notes and nothing else. Has an okay lighter gold body and a fast disappearing head on top. Flavour is soft hops, not sharp but smoothed out with other stuff on top of it like some kind of rice lager thing. Mouthfeel is full enough but not crisp. This is a very mediocre IPA.

On tap at the brewpub. The aroma is nice fruity raspberry, not too candy-ish nor sweet. Has an okay brown ruby-ish body and no foam. Flavour is a nice balance between raspberry and malt. Mouthfeel is sort of wet but full enough. It's decent and fruity but not too sweet, always nice to see in the fruit infused beers.

On tap at the brewpub. Has an aroma of soft barley, a good beige head and black body. Flavour is soft barley with a bit of stout sweetness to it, maybe some chocolate in there. Mouthfeel is okay. No idea where the pilsner went.

Re rate - bitter pine and grapefruit. Solid example of PNW IPA. Light sweet malts and generic hop notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Bitterness, pale malts and some bitterness continues in the finish. Old school.
