22 oz. bottle courtesy of WeeHeavySD. Pours a hazy golden color with a medium sized dense off white head. The aroma is a mix of citrus, herbal, and floral hops with an underlying sweetness. The flavor has some sweet malts that are there, but are a bit overshadowed by the hops. There is a good amount of grapefruit citrus and some pine. The body is smooth and a little syrupy. Another very good west coast IPA.

660ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki) - shared by oh6gd6 - thanks!
Slightly specky light orange, small sticky head. Huge pleasant mandarin and tinned peach aroma. Very smooth palate - carbonation soft, body sweet and malty. Fairly dominant but pleasant grapefruity hops, which stay for quite a long finish. After just half a pint it wasn’t too monotonous, but it is hard to judge how much more I’d enjoy.

Bottle Pours a cloudy pale yellow with a good white head. The head is foamy and lasting. Laces okay. Aroma is citrus, and hops. Has a good carbonation and a good mouthfeel. Has a mildly hoppy beginning then the bitterness kicks in. Not overly strong but very tasty. Has a oily texture. A medium body. This is a good tasting IPA. I was worried with all the problems the brewer was having but this was awesome.

Thin white head, bright golden yellow with a deep tone. Looks slightly oily. Tastes of very refreshing and bright hops, but not overpowering at all. Alcohol is hidden, and perfect. Bright with grapefruit and pine, but doesnt stick tot he tongue

On tap. Last 2 years when this beer is released it is my favorite. The fresh hop taste sticks out and feels like the hop oils are in the kegs. Great beer, can’t wait until next seasons release.

22 oz bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA. Pours out a clear golden color with a thick pillow of a white head that never fully dissipates. Aroma is hefty on the citrus with a bit of a floral hop smell as well. Flavor is mostly the same with some light pine and a huge snap of a bitter finish. Very tasty IPA, would love to get Port in Oregon soon.
