True to its name, Cascade, Centennial, Crystal and Simcoe create a citrusy hop confluence that continuously embiggens with each drink. The embodiment of our brewing philosophy to “Never Give An Inch”.

Bottle. Pours golden yellow with light white head. Nice lacing and retention.

Aroma is strongly floral with some bread and hay notes. Taste is earthy, muted hop and resin. Not much citrus. Not as complex as some of the bigger names in this style. Dry finish.

Clearz medium golden colorz thick white head. Very good head retention, with thick lacing on the glass as I drink. Classic hop aroma , piney and floral. Pretty bitter taste. Thin to medium bodied.

Pours a rich, malty caramel color. Low aroma, with lots of C-hop notes as it warms and opens. On the sip I get citrus—orange, mostly, and some grapefruit peel—along with pine. Hits the spot for lovers of classic IPAs.

Nitro-draught @ Loyal Legion, Portland, Oregon:

Drinks like hoppy air owing to the nitrogenation.

A good, smooth IPA, but nothing to write home about. The texture is a little thin. Fairly complex, not too bitter, with a bold fruity/citrus smell I noticed right away, and a flavor to match. A step up from what Pyramid and Widmer Bros have to offer.

Has a nice copper color, a thin head but nice lacing. Smells nice but not very hoppy. Taste follows the nose and isn’t strong with the hops. It’s smooth as silk and drinks easily. It’s a good IPA. On tap at Ron’s Corner Tavern. Revisiting 5/26/2020 with a 500 ML bottle dated ??/??/19 illegible but It smells less hoppy and more like a can of fruit syrup. The taste is hoppy and slightly sweet. Mouthfeel is thick and chewy. Overall I think it's better than I originally thought and It's not unheard of that some IPA's age very well. I'd buy more.
