3.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Poured a golden orange with a one-finger white head. Smell is dank, with big grass, pine, and fresh hops. Taste is bitter from start to finish, with hints of citrus and tangerine. Body is thin with high carbonation, but good lacing. Have to admit that it smells better than it tastes. Not much going on and pretty straightforward, but great for a hot summer day. Not bad.

2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at Anthony’s in Tacoma, WA: Weakly citrus aroma, decent head with nice clear amber appearance. medium sweetness, lightly bitter, taste, presumably based on citra hops. Light body, thin feel, without the bitter pasty aftertaste. Overall not impressive for the PacNW but would be an appropriate hoppy bottle for an afternoon BBQ.
