2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Orange pour with thick white head. Lots of bubbles rising to the top. Aroma of apricot, light citrus, grass. Fairly thin. Flavor is thin as well. Light bitterness, some citrus. A mild soapiness. Fairly high carbonation. Light bodied. Very smooth to drink, but not much else here.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Resin on the nose, pungent and sappy. Hazy, light orange with white head. Orange citrus starts and transitions to a malty finish, which is neither crisp nor cloying. Low carbonation mixed with medium body makes it feel slick. Tastes more like a pale ale.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
aroma is lemon, fresh ocean breeze, clean grains, foliage. appearance is big carb, lasting film, hazed yellow pour. flavor is salty ocean, fresh cut grass, light peach notes. mouthfeel is pleasantly dry, big live fizziness scrubs the tongue.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
The aroma is hoppy as one would expect, but it also has a citrus fruit edge to it. Nice, but not overt. The white head is pillowy for a time, settling only slighly and leaving laces. The body is a light foggy gold. The taste lacks a great range, obscured slightly by a good amount of carbonization. Considering the aroma, I would have thought there would have been more to this. The landing on the palate is light beyond the initial burn of bubbles, somewhat thin and a bit oily. This one does not push any barriers and I was somewhat disappointed, however, it is mildly enjoyable.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Good all around IPA. Hoppy but nicely balanced. Would drink again but not raving about. Serving: Bottle
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Some cereal malt aroma with floral/citrus hop. Appearance golden with some murkiness/haze. Decent bitterness nearly sour. Medium palate with long finish. Overlap not a bad IPA, but not Portland’s best, by far.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
hazy orange color, medium off white head, lacy. nose malty, caramely, with citric and pine hops. flavor follows the nose, with malt and caramel followed by mildly bitter citric and pine hoppiness. medium bodied, mildly bitter finish. a touch mild for my palate, but acceptable.

Cloudy amber pour with an off-white head. Aroma is hoppy, with some malt in the back. Taste is nicely balanced. Smooth. no major hop aftertaste.
