On Tap at the River Room, While Foods, Boise Hazy golden orange, with an impressive full off-white head leaving heavy thick sheets of lacing. Modest fresh citrusy hop aroma. Big IBU bite and reasonable west coast hop flavors. A little metallic and medicinal, late grassy bitterness. Pretty clean and modest bodied for a double. Decent.

Fast becoming my favorite Washington brewery. Another outstanding addition to their lineup, hits all the right notes or an APA, remaining smooth and highly drinkable. A perfect accompaniment to almost any kind of food.

A tall, sticky white head floats above this clear gold colored beer. Fresh grapefruit and pine resin hop aroma. The flavor is bitter on the front end fading to a nice long dry finish. Not overdone. Good and solid single hop IPA.

Bottle from Legacy Liquor, Vancouver
Hazy blond color with medium head. Intense aroma, yellow fruits, apricots; mellow; later, a bit of pungent animal aroma appear. The mouthfeel is quite dry and lean, although also minimally oily; good malt flavor, a bit toasty, and with some fudge/toffee; very strong bitterness; the hopping is resiny and fruity, although in the very end there is a bit of chicory bitterness; I may sense infinitesimal diacetyl, not enough to disturb though.
Very good.

An excellent example of a NW IPA. Deep amber with thick, fluffy beige head. Heady aroma of malt first, then hops. Hops take over on taste, smooth bitterness, slightly dry finish, All the way around a great example of how IPA should be done.

On tap at bier thirty. Pours out a crisp golden topped with a sand head. Nose is sweet malts citrus hops and a little grapefruit. Taste is as the nose with a nice hop malt combo. A pretty good one but pushing the session ipa thing to the limit.

On tap at bier thirty. Pours out a nice crisp copper topped a small head. Nose is nice sweet caramel pine and a little citrus hop. Taste is a good malt mix and a mix of floral pine and citrus hops. A grapefruit peel bitterness on the end.

650 ml bottle. Pours a light copper with moderate head. Aromas of pine, toffee, and pink grapefruit. Flavors are similar with an emphasis on pine. Very good but nothing to differentiate from the offerings of a hundred other micros.

Draught at Portland Craft, Vancouver
Hazy golden color with compact head, nice lace. The aroma is initially very fruity, it develops later some cereals, summer dry hay, oolong tea; very light butter eventually. The mouthfeel is dry; good malt/toffee flavor; the hopping character is pungent, fruity (orange and cedar), resiny (even a bit of frankincense), and again a strong character of hay.
Nice, powerful drink.
