Description
Pelican Brewing Company was born at the beach in Pacific City in 1996. Here, in front of a rundown old building at the water’s edge, stood three enthusiastic young folks whose thirst for great beer overshadowed their understanding of what it would take to build a brewery. They did it anyway. And now twenty years later, older, and wiser, Pelican Brewing Company is a craft beer industry leader with fans throughout the Northwest and around the world. Today we’ve taken our breweries and our values to other Oregon coastal towns where we wake up each day in a place that reminds us that amazing is possible. Cheers fellow fanatics. This is as good as it gets.

12 oz can poured, picked up I'm not really sure where. Don't remember buying it. Don't remember receiving it. I'm just glad I have it now. It sounds like something I'd buy, so most likely a throw in can to complete a mix six pack at Hop and Hound for the $1 off deal. Fantastic borderline imperial IPA fun of dank and juicy hops as advertised. Copper orange pour, tons of almost tan foam head. Equal parts pine and citus hop nose. Bold and bitter forest hops up front. Cool, refreshing, flavorful. I don't really know why, but this jumps out as an awesome IPA for winter time for me. Weird thought, but I'm sticking to it. Overall, a solid IPA here. Pelican never disappoints. Can't wait to visit one of the locations again.

22oz bottle pours out cola brown topped with a sand head. Nose is cherries upfront, with some nice belg pit fruit candy sugar and spice. Taste is more of the nice sweet candy sugar cherries and a belg spice yeast profile on the end.

Crowler from Growler Guys. Near black pour, thick tan head settles into small, bubbly foam. Aroma offers notes of chocolate milk and roast malts. Taste brings coffee and vanilla into the mix, slight bitterness to go with the sweet dark chocolate and lacto flavors. Full bodied and pleasant aftertaste.

Capped bottle conditioned 750 from La Riviera in Sacramento, CA. Pours light, bright copper with a foamy white head. Aroma of yeast, lemon and clove/pepper. Med body. Flavor is fruity, pepper/clove, yeast and arguably some malt that isn't pale. Flavors aren't mouth searing, but they are firm, well blended and very pleasant. Tasty stuff. Real ale!

12 ounce can. Pours a clear copper color with a small white head. A light funky lemon nose. Rich, medium bitterness, caramel, light dankness but this is not very dank, more soapy bitter hops. Solid.

12 oz can from Brewers Haven. Dark gloden pour with small foamy head Hoppy aroma and taste, just on the edge of real dank. Dank for the newbs maybe, but was a bit underwhelmed.

Bomber from Brewers Haven. Medium to dark amber, clear, initial foamy head fades, fine columns of continuous carbonation. Ginger and lime are the focus here, both in the aroma and taste. Fruity, savory, spicy throughout, lime takes over the finish. Body seems thin....

12 oz. Aroma is caramel, bready, orange juice, passionfruit. Pours slightly hazy/nearly clear new penny copper with a one finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste is moderately to highly bitter and moderately sweet with lovely orange juice, passionfruit, caramel and bready character. Has a lingering pithy bitterness. Not really what I'd call dank, but it's really good.
