3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20On draft at Dad Watson’s in Seattle. Arrived a hazy golden amber with a small off-white head that diminished to a skin. Nice toasty and floral aroma, showing hints of fruit and citrus. Flavor has an initial malt character, quickly shoved aside for the citrus and piney hops, leaving a little dustiness and an astringent finish. Medium body and crispy carbonation. Nice, serviceable NW IPA.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Deep gold, clear, off white head. Aroma of piney-citrusy hops. Flavor features a caramel sweetness, very light soapy note, piney-resiny hops.

This is a solid example of an IPA. Although I could point to many greater ones, this McMenamins IPA has decent spruce/piney hops with a good fluffy head which many McMenamin’s beers lack.

Well, at least McMenamins knows how to find and refurbish great properties, bc they don’t make beer too good.

Draught@McMenamins Crystal Ballroom, Portland (ABV 6.71%)

2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at the Spar Cafe. Not much to it. It did get a little citrus character as it warmed, but generally boring with a bit of dirty tap line quality to it. Didn’t make me want to sample more beers here.
