Clear light copper color with a decent cream head. Aroma is strong spicy and resinous hop with a crystal malt noticeable as well. Flavor is more of the same - delivering on the aroma expectations nicely. Distinct piney finish. I like chinook so I enjoy this beer, but in large quantities it would definitely be too much of a good thing. I wouldn’t hand this to someone who hasn’t really gotten into IPAs much, but I’d give it to someone who I know likes the northwest hops, or just someone who wants to try a new take on an IPA.

Sweet, hoppy and very clean, this is an everyday ipa for me. Memorable because of a little mishap in the alcohol volume here, this was sold in the normal shops and they aren’t supposed to sell over 4,7% stuff. No wonder this was more delicious than the run of the mill ordinary shop IPAs.
