Draft pour pint at BrewTop Social, SeaTac. Pre-flight beers always find their way of getting bonus points on my ratings. Clean and shiny pour. Thin head. Lots of straw grain and corn up front. Pils like nose with a touch of grass. Very crisp brew. Light, refreshing, flavorful enough to not be bored of it. Gotta love a brew that names itself after home. Can't believe the new park has now stood longer than the Kingdome did. Anyway, good kolsch here.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Norm's Market, Lake Stevens. Mild haze, juicy golden orange, loose foam head. Flavorful stone fruit forward hop profile. Grassy and citrus hops with balance. Some cool melon notes, layered hop character, mild bitterness finish. Well rounded IPA, enjoyable, with the hazy being an afterthought, which is a huge plus for this west coast preferred beer fan. Tasty one here.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Norm's Market, Lake Stevens.bright, hazy orange. Cream foam. Pretty equal parts pine and citrus on the nose. Very much reminds me of the hazy that is brewed here in the NW, so I suppose the roots are coming through on this one. Piney hops up front on the flavor, moderately bitter, cream body, cool melon and citrus notes that fill the palate. Flavorful hazy, nothing chalky. Well put together hazy IPA for sure.

Draft pour pint at Route 2, Monroe. Presented on nitro. Dark, dense black pour. Thick cream foam head that lasts until it's the only thing left. Checks all the boxes for the style. Toasty flavor, dry throughout but flavorful. Smooth cream body. Subtle cocoa, espresso nose. Really good brew.

Draft pour pint at Route 2, Monroe. Clean golden pour, plenty of rocky foam head. Really unique IPA, very dry on taste, big floral bitterness, slight funk note. Drenched malt nose, gentle floral hop aroma. Quite sharp with the bitterness on the late palate. Pretty strange, but really not bad overall.

2018 vintage 12 oz bottle poured. Copper reddish brown pour. Bit of a snow globe of sediment after 7 years of cool and dark age. Active carb still, and a lasting head. Big maple nose, some bran, spicy .alts, and a touch of barrel. Really a smooth brew for its strength. Is it even a brown ale anymore at a hair short of 14%? Moderately dense body, spicy malts, bold toasty grain, bran, lingering dry whiskey and oak. Late maple like reminder. Definitely a layered BA brew, and something a lot different than your expected barrel offerings. Really stood the test of time too. Very nice.
