4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Opaque peachy colour with a thick, pristine head. Big deep centennial woodiness with a hint of grapefruit. The malts are pale but here they’re fat, rich and tangy, more like a glazed pastry than the usual breadiness. Rich, rich bitterness is woody and slightly cascadey. Malts are again clean but rich. Yeast adds some roundness to the body, and there is a firm shot of alcohol late. It doesn’t really help the taste but it does remind you not to take this beer lightly.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at Blind Tiger. Amber red colour with lighter orange highlights. Aroma is very fruity and loaded with mango, peach, and passionfruit. Very tropical and fruity. A kiss of juicy fruitiness. Flavour is also great, rich sweet citrus hops, tangerine and orange. Very low cohumulones giving is a soft bitter finish. Really nicely made IIPA.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Sample at the Pike Street location. This beer pours a murky yellow color with a medium thin and foamy white head that dissipates slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. Citrusy hops aroma with notes of malt and caramel. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with floral hops and citrus flavors balanced by some bready malt and caramel. The finish is resiny hops with a lingering bitterness left over. Pretty good all around.

Draft at RNH. Pours a dark amber orange body with a tan head. Floral and grass notes, light spices and etoh latent fruit. Decent brew.

At Elysian Fields. Pours a hazy orange with a great head. Served in a snifter. Awesome aromas of hops - floral, pine with a light pale malt backbone. Nice hopcentric IIPA. Bitterness up front is followed by more bitterness. Lots of pine, grapefruit rinds, and floral hops. Long lingering dry resiny hops. A really awesome PNW IIPA.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Tap at BT. Nice DIPA, and one of the better beers I have had from Elysian. Pours a very hazy almost bright orange with a nice thin lasting white head and great lace in the chalice. Aroma is piny, almost mint-like, tons of c-hops, sappy and resinous. Orange zest and more mint on the flavor, citrus, light grapefruit and pine needles. Nice tacky raw bitterness, but it isnt too strong actually. Good smooth finish- nice solid DIPA.
