BillKismet	3.2 Puyallup River Puyallup Leader of the Pac Copper-amber colored brew with a luscious off-white beigeish head. Floral hop and sweet candi malt notes in the aroma with a touch of cereal grain around the periphery. Green hop and bitter body, twangy, alcohol notes. Some tannins and off-bitter notes. A disarray of qualities that never quite come together. Sunday, January 20, 2019
andrewje41	4.1 Puyallup River Puyallup Leader of the Pac Pours beautifully, a dark, sunset haze with one finger of a thick cream foam head. 16 oz can that really stands out in a case of mixed singles. Will catch the eye of the craft brew fan and nostalgic gamer of any level at the same time. I'm all about a double hop double malt IPA, and this one brings all the flavor, while drinking as smooth as your seasonable ale. Body is thicker, and coats with a juicy, fruit fronted hop profile. The malt is rich, caramel and cereal late linger. I've been living the cans from these guys that have made it to my local. It's a shame I havent made the trip to try them at the source yet. Very nice double double here. Sunday, January 13, 2019
Hanuta06	3.8 Puyallup River Mud Mountain Milk Stout Serving: from bottle purchased at PCC. Aroma: light cocoa. Appearance: very small, light-brown initial head with fair lace and fully diminishing longevity. Clear, cola-brown body. Taste: lightly sweet, cocoa initial flavor and lightly acidic, cocoa and roasty finish with long duration. Palate: full body with syrupy texture and soft carbonation. Overall: great lasting flavor and aroma. Saturday, December 22, 2018
DenverLogan	4 Puyallup River Puyallup Leader of the Pac On tap at the Imbibe Taphouse in Maple Valley, WA. This place has a very nice tap selection of PNW brews. This Puyallup tasted very flavorful and balanced and worthy to take home as a growler. Sorry for the lack of details but I forgot my beer geek notebook and phone for this excursion!!

Strykzone	3.8 Puyallup River Mud Mountain Milk Stout Bomber from hayduke that we had together via facebook chat. A big dark tan head falls slowly. Some red in the bottom of the glass of this dark brown beer. I smell chocolate and lactic. Flavor begins with a big mouth full of chocolate. Vanilla and lactic follow. Some roast and citrus. This beer is generally sweet and rich but has a dry side to it. It is earthy with mild bitterness. The finish brings more fruit. Thursday, November 29, 2018
hayduke	4 Puyallup River Mud Mountain Milk Stout Shared with Strykzone on Facebook Chat. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Nose of chocolate, vanilla, and lactose. Full body, Creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is as the aromas with coffee appearing. Very nice beer. Thursday, November 29, 2018
reinmogard	2.9 Puyallup River Imperial Eggnog Mud Mountain Milk Stout Monday, November 19, 2018
andrewje41	3.3 Puyallup River From Kihei With Love 16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. A thick, juicy, hazy apple orange pour with a rocky foam head. Tons of Hawaiian like tropical fruit aroma and flavor. Some apple on the nose. Really juicy IPA, with a long lingering bill of all the advertised fruit qualities. A little sweet for me, and heavy on pineapple which I'm not crazy about, but the beer is well made for sure. Sunday, October 28, 2018
Sledutah	3.5 Puyallup River Hazey's Comet 12oz can picked up at Total Wine in Spokane br> Pours slightly cloudy dark golden with a small off-white head, light lacing. Tropical fruit, apricot, oranges and resin Nice Thursday, October 4, 2018
fiulijn	3.2 Puyallup River Hop Pioneer Double IPA Tasting at Brian's; can Cloudy blond colour. The aroma is a bit dank, touch of vanilla. The body is ok, the mouthfeel fairly dry, some crackery malts, some vegetable bitterness in the end. Ok beer. Friday, August 31, 2018
Ferris	2.3 Puyallup River Hop Pioneer Double IPA Can - Butterscotch and vegetal. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Sweet, bitter and butterscotch. Tons of stone fruit. Friday, August 31, 2018
fiery1	2 Puyallup River Hop Pioneer Double IPA 473ml can @ home. Pours a hazy golden copper colour with a thin white head. Nose is buttery boiled vegetables with some sort of malts. Flavour is boozy, bitter, and vegetal. Medium to light bodied, light carbonation, and just odd. Friday, August 31, 2018
Oakes	1.8 Puyallup River Hop Pioneer Double IPA Dull, cloudy, not much head. Is this going to be good. The aroma has a light bit of diacetyl, lots of sulphur, too. This tastes the same, too. Definitely something gone wrong. There is a bit of hops, with some fruity note. But the faults. They are significant. Friday, August 31, 2018
mcberko	1.5 Puyallup River Hop Pioneer Double IPA 16 oz. can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Nose is unpleasant, with lots of vegetal notes, some diacetyl, faded resinous hops, and sweet caramel bready malt. Flavour is not quite as offensive, with light diacetyl, vegetal notes, faded resinous hops, and bready notes. Not dialed in right - barely drinkable. Friday, August 31, 2018
andrewje41	3.9 Puyallup River Hop Pioneer Double IPA 16 oz can poured. Thick pour, juicy golden orange, a cream foam head. A juice heavy peach punch like flavor to this that I enjoy a ton. Slight bitter citrus rind some and flavor. Grassy hops. Cream body. Not at all heavy in the imperial category. Drinks simple and refreshing. Quite a nice IPA here. Wednesday, August 8, 2018
BuckeyeBoy	3.8 Puyallup River Mud Mountain Milk Stout 12oz can pours out a black topped with a tan head. Nose is nice sweet milk chocolate some vanilla and roast malts. Taste is more of the nice sweet chocolate notes and a touch of coffee. Thursday, June 21, 2018
luttonm	3.4 Puyallup River Hazey's Comet Can in Seattle. Bought very recently, but doesn’t present so fresh. Somewhat clouded, but certainly not hazy, dark orange body. Lacing modest head. Nose of fragrant orange skin and bready malt. Bitter orange, some pith, earthy and bitter. Some lighter, perhaps soft, fruit at times but finishes bitter and rough. Not great. Sunday, June 10, 2018
andrewje41	3.8 Puyallup River Mud Mountain Milk Stout 12 oz can poured. Dessert like stout paired with dessert. Always enjoy a pairing. Coffee black tour, a tan cream foam head. Medium roast coffee aroma. A sweet milk chocolate as well. Flavor is a smooth, caramel milk chocolate. Well executed milk stout for my taste. Nice beer here. Friday, June 8, 2018
Roymullins	4.3 Puyallup River Imperial Eggnog Mud Mountain Milk Stout This shouldn’t work... egg nog stout? But somehow it does. Deep dark with some interesting swirls of flavor. The nose is certainly egg noggy- the taste however is big malt, vanilla and Coca-Cola. Certainly different but very well done. Friday, June 1, 2018
DenverLogan	3.7 Puyallup River Hazey's Comet From a 12oz can into a stem glass. Pours gold with head and lace. Aroma of grains, amber malts, floral hops. Significant carbonation and mouthfeel. Flavors of grains, sweet pale malt, hay, minerals, slight toothpaste. Overall rich, flavorful, and a bit more sweet and bitter than most IPAs of this abv. Wednesday, May 16, 2018
Arayaga2	3.7 Puyallup River Hazey's Comet Friday, May 11, 2018
robforbes	2.7 Puyallup River Mint Mountain Imperial Milk Stout Pours black with a very small tan head and little lacing. Smell is of mint and cocoa. Taste has a strange mint to it, lots of mint in fact, cocoa, and some licorice in the back. Ends like Binaca on the lips. Wednesday, April 4, 2018
robforbes	3.5 Puyallup River Hazey's Comet Pours a hazy amber-orange with a medium size white fluffy head and great lacing. Smell is of hops, some pine, dandelion, grass, and cereal. Taste is a bit watery, hops, fruit, citrus, a touch of pine in the back, and a tad bit of malt. Ends on the bitter side and a bit creamy. Saturday, March 31, 2018
Ferris	2.9 Puyallup River Electron IPA Bottle - Light vegetal, grains and wet grass. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Vegetal and bitter with tea leaf notes. Friday, February 23, 2018
Oakes	3.5 Puyallup River Electron IPA Hazy amber. Bubbly head. Fruity and piney but with chewy notes. On the palate, much the same. So an old school chewy IPA, with good balance for that style, but pretty chewy and the hops aren't especially bright - thought maybe if this was 2004 they would be. Friday, February 23, 2018
mcberko	2.7 Puyallup River Electron IPA 22 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out earthy resinous hops, caramel, and bready malt. Flavour reveals earthy hops, bready caramel, and light resins. Uncoordinated and lacking cohesion. Inoffensive, but this just isn't good. Friday, February 23, 2018
dampinwa	4.5 Puyallup River Jack O'Lahar Pumpkin Ale Friday, February 2, 2018
andrewje41	3.6 Puyallup River Raspberry Scone Draft pour to a tulip at Malt and Vine. Dark red, grape juice appearance. Fresh berries aroma here, raspberry jam. Flavor is a ton of jammy red raspberry fruit, which starts a little sweet, and finishes on the more sour side. Berry juicy fruit. Very jammy. Fun and unique beer. Definitely nailed what they were going for here. Friday, December 22, 2017
BuckeyeBoy	3.3 Puyallup River Hazey's Comet 22oz bottle pours out a hazy wheat color topped with a white head. Nose is earthy hops some grass and a light cereal malt. Taste is more of the earthy notes pineapple and the light cereal. Thursday, November 23, 2017
Zeswaft	3.5 Puyallup River Hazey's Comet Bomber. First half of the bottle was minimally hazy despite trying to swirl some of the setiment. Second half had a lot of yeast floaters and haze. Flavor and aroma is overwhelmingly piney and earthy. Finishes a little sweet. Not a typical tropical or citrusy hazy ipa. Wednesday, November 22, 2017
petercstephen	4.8 Puyallup River Mud Mountain Milk Stout Very Nice indeed, smoth, no too strong, just right. As a Swedish measurement it is “lagom” a great beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Monday, November 20, 2017
Capa	3.7 Puyallup River Hazey's Comet Hazy orange with a white head. Lightly tropical citrus with orange overtones. Sweet malt underneath. Medium creamy body. Sharp citrus bitterness in the finish. Solid. Monday, November 20, 2017
andrewje41	3.9 Puyallup River Hazey's Comet 22 oz bottle poured. Cool looking bottle here. Hazy golden orange pour. Aroma is a nice fresh orange fruit, hint of citrus tart. Interesting. Creamy body, and full of flavor. Citrus, but soft and low bitter. Refreshing, and very enjoyable hazy here. Would totally drink this again, and hope I do. Tuesday, November 14, 2017
poisoneddwarf	3.4 Puyallup River Jack O'Lahar Pumpkin Ale Bomber. Aroma is generic beer, bread crust, apples. Pours hazy amber with a one finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is lightly sweet and roasty. Less spice forward than typical examples. Just ok. Sunday, October 29, 2017
mec1919	3.8 Puyallup River Mud Mountain Milk Stout Wednesday, October 11, 2017
andrewje41	3.5 Puyallup River Fresh Hop IPA Draft pour at Great Pumpkin Beer Fest. Cool that they inserted fresh hops to add to this festival. It is indeed the season for both styles. A lighter, pale yellowish pour. First Simcoe fresh hop this year. Pretty dank on the nose. Somewhat of a grassy and citrus combination of hop flavor. Good hop profile overall. Pretty good. Friday, September 29, 2017
Crit	3.3 Puyallup River Lahar Imperial IPA Bright amber, beige head.Light musty hop nose.Huge musty hop profile with a big malt backbone. Better than most reviews here would indicate Thursday, September 7, 2017
Tboy	4.2 Puyallup River Cream Ale - Pineapple Ghost Pepper Citrus and Pineapple upfront and the heat builds on the back of the palate. Killer with some pad Thai Saturday, August 26, 2017
Tboy	5 Puyallup River Electron IPA Citrus & tropical fruit with a solid malt base. Saturday, August 26, 2017
Tboy	5 Puyallup River Lahar Imperial IPA Saturday, August 26, 2017

robforbes	2.4 Puyallup River Pineapple Paradise Cream Ale Pours a clear yellow with a thin white head and no lacing. Smell is of pineapple and skunk. Taste is light pineapple, ginger ale, and some citrus. Ends a little tangy on the tongue. Wednesday, June 14, 2017
Capa	3.8 Puyallup River Mud Mountain Milk Stout Black with a creamy tan head. Full of chocolate with vanilla, roasted malt, weak black coffee. Medium bodied. Enjoyable throughout. Friday, June 9, 2017
Capa	3.5 Puyallup River Mexican Milkshake Dark with a tan head. Roasted malt, chocolate, earth, vanilla. The pepper lurks till the finish when the heat singes your throat. Quite a nice stout base with hot pepper. Not a fan of pepper beers but this is well made. Sunday, May 14, 2017
AnokaBrewer	4.4 Puyallup River Mud Mountain Milk Stout On tap at Sam Adams Brewhouse. Pour is black. Sweet aroma with chocolate and coffee. Sweet taste and sweet chocolate finish. Great desert beer. Saturday, May 13, 2017
luttonm	3 Puyallup River Cream Ale - Pineapple Ghost Pepper Bottle in Seattle. Thanks to Andrew, on his quest to try every pepper beer / eventually make it an official style here. Gusher bottle, soft foamy cream on a cloudy glowing pineapple juice yellow body. Muddled cream on nose with a hint of old pineapple. This does pack some heat, which is as much as I would expect. Grows with the glass. I suppose the pineapple and cream base work well as a supporting palate for this heat. Green heat, rises and burns a little. If you like heat you’ll like that aspect of this. Base is flabby but fine. Works better than I expected. Sunday, May 7, 2017
runaway	2.6 Puyallup River Electron IPA 22 pours cloudy copper with a rocky off white head. Aroma is faintly of hops. Taste is of mildly funky hops and a super bitter astringent orange peel finish. Active and crisp but way out of balance. Sunday, April 23, 2017
andrewje41	3.4 Puyallup River Electron IPA Draft pour pint at Puyallup. Plastic pint. State fair. Golden orange pour with a thin fizz head. Quite refreshing, though much could be owed to how difficult it is to find a good beer on these grounds. Crisp, earthy hops, soft malt linger late. Modest touch of bitterness to pair. An orange peel like bitterness. Orange fruit slightly in the flavor as well. Other than that, a pretty standard IPA for me. Good, but not great. Friday, April 21, 2017
