3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On draft at the brewpub. Arrives a hazy copper amber color with a moderate sized off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, a little ripe stone fruit, floral hops. Somewhat biscuity, toasty malts, caramel notes astringent herbal hops, lemon peel, pine resins and cedar. medium body, assertive carbonation. Sort of an out of the way place, but pretty good beers.

Amber in color clear with a thin head. Nice hops and malt aroma. The malt flavor was rich and light cereal. Hops where bitter and tasty and there was a great dry finish.

On Tap at the brewpub. Light golden orange with a big full lasting off-white head. Nice citrus and a little pine hop aroma. Flavor had decent fresh hops and a modest bitterness. A good west coast IPA though not very aggressive.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at the brewery/brewpub. Pours pure clear copper with of white head. The aroma is mostly citrus to spicy hops with some grassiness in the background. The taste is full up hops with a pleasing level of malt sweetness in a supporting role. The hops are pretty darn crisp running from spiciness to tangelo to grapefruit citrus to sweeter and juicier citrus orange like hop flavor. To midway the mild malty sweetness fades as does the sweeter hop flavor leaving a modest bitter hop bite lingering into the after taste.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours light copper with thin head. No real hop aroma. Some hops on the flavor but an intresting Belgian yeast flavor. Not a hoot ipa and no way is it the 80 ibus it says. But interesting.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Growler purchased at the brewery earlier tonight....poured into my 1L beer mug. Pours a beautiful amber color with a white/cream colored head. The hops are not too overpowering with this IPA, so it’s smoother than I expected. Overall, there’s a great balance between the hops and malt. I feel fortunate that I live in Lynnwood, because I just discovered an awesome microbrewery tonight.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On draught at the brewery taproom in Lynnwood, Washington. Pours a semi-clear golden pale amber brew with a creamy non-nitro off-white head that has some excellent retention and lacing. Aroma of roasted caramel and golden grain malt, plenty of grapefruit and citrus with a touch of herbal spice. Taste is mostly malty with a touch of bitter citrus, has a nice combination flavor that is not overpowering hops/citrus. Finish is slightly sweet with a mild bitterness which brings this beer more towards an ESB style beer.
