On-tap, Brouwers Hopfest - Hazy golden body with a soft white head. Soft, creamy mouthfeel that was abundantly floral with a somewhat grainy pale malt backbone. Slight citrus sharpness that provided a crisp finish. Soft herbal notes and a moderate lingering pine bite. Very nice.

Tap at Malt and Vine. Poured orange with a thin white head. Aroma is light and lemony. Flavor is light, toasty malt with a strong, dry grapefruit hop finish. There’s a pleasant sour note in the aroma and flavor that I have not encountered in an IPA previously. Very tasty and balanced with a nice, lasting hop finish.

Not much aroma but tasty and drinkable. Not a very complex hop flavor. A lot of citrus.

On tap. Slighty cloudy, orange yellow in color. Nice hop and citrus nose. Very citrus filled attack, bitter clean. Very drinkable.

Draught at Lava Lounge, Seattle, WA, USA.
Slightly hazy golden colour with no head. Stale butter aroma with bitter piney hops. Harsh piney bitter hops in flavour. Flavour is rather mildly bitter but aftertaste lasts very long.

Draft @ the Brewery. Pours a cloudy orange color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty hoppy aroma. Fruity malty hoppy citrus flavor. Has a fruity malty hoppy bitter citrus finish.

Uninteresting IPA. The bartender at the brewery nailed to description pretty well. The flavor that stuck out the most to me was grape. Very dry finish. No biggie. The other IPA offerings from Two Beers are exceptional, even the ISA is exemplary.

Bronze-amber with crisp head. Aroma of light crystal malt and Chinook bitterness. Medium amount of Chinook flavor, solid bitterness, with slight grapefruit and metallic finish. Sourness increases throughout and becomes mildly unpleasant.

Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Grapefruit and light malt aroma. Floral, grapefruit flavor with light malt. Medium body. Floral notes and light malt linger with some light grapefruit.

The good news is that these days, it takes better than a fair beer to make any semblance of a positive impression in the saturated PacNW IPA market. The bad news is that this beer is not better than a fair beer. Citrus blast, fairly malt-heavy, astringent. Drinkable, not special.
