Draft at elliott bay pizza. Pours a clear bright gold with a loose white head that’s on its way out. Huge piney nose. Creamy medium body with super lively carb. Pine, toast, and caramel on the mid palate with a crisp resiny finish. Awesome dipa.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Growler from the brewery. Pours a bright orange, with a moderate head. Big, pungent, juicy hops on the nose - navel oranges with a bit of grapefruit. Really, really nice! Flavor up front reminds me a lot of PtY. Really bright, slightly boozy, and all about the hops. That fades a bit into a toasted cereal malt, which then fades into the bitter aftertaste from the hops. This is really delicious -- I could drink this *all* night long, and am thrilled to find it brewed locally just down the street!

Growler originally filled at the brewery... Golden yellow pour with a thin white head. Intensely hopped and big time NW IPA hop flavors. Pine, citrus, grassy. Quite dominant on hops and not so much malt here. However the flavors of hops is so high and spicing and flavoring masked a lot of the alpha bitterness.

Clear golden honeyish color, small off-white head. Piney-fruity aroma. Medium-bodied. Piney, resiny hoppy flavor. Some fruity notes in the finish. Easy going DIPA.

Sampled on tap at SIB. Pours a golden orange/yellow with a small white head. Aroma of citrus hops, and grapefruit. Flavour the same with hints of cereal too. Bitter. Mainly hops in the flavour. Really nice.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sampled on tap at SIB, pours hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is an intense citrus hop blast with little else. Flavour is quite one-sided citrus hops, with little malt backing. Very unbalanced but it’s well done for what it is.
