This is an IPA that differs from the West Coast IPA offering from pFriem in that it is sweeter, less bitter, but somehow more piney at least as far as the nose is concerned.

Very good, balanced IPA. Nice and clear, clean mouthfeel, fruity flavor without being overly sweet. It has a good hop and malt balance. A favorite of mine and a great fallback when I don't see anything interesting at the store.

Taster at brewery. Medium golden. Small foamy head subsides to ring. Aroma is light citrus and pine. Taste follows with more of the aroma, a bit of hop sting at the finish.

Flavors and aromas are pretty much everything described, it's a tasty fruity IPA. The only downside is I think the body is a bit thin so the flavors don't hold well. The upside to that though is it goes down fast af.

Brought a six pack of this with me when I moved from Oregon to Maine… there’s no question I miss this being available to me. As such, I’ve been saving these beers for the perfect moment. While they have always tasted amazingly balanced and clean, the can I’m having now (from a Stella .33 glass) has really opened up to the described Lychee flavor from the can’s info, both in the nose and the taste. Still clean, still practically perfect. Love this brewery and everything they do!

The last beer I had from here was the hazy IPA; it was tasty. I served it in a pint glass at around 38 degrees. The pour created a bright white frothy and airy two_fingered head. The retention is above average, and dissipation has left, lacing on the glass. The color charts around SRM 6, a straw yellow with golden hues. The clarity is clear with a few carbonation bubbles. The IPA's appearance is elegant.
The initial aromas are grapefruit, resin, and orange. Nosing the glass further, I smell lightly toasted malts, a hint of floral, slight dankness, and tropical fruit. The tropical fruit is hard to pin down. It could be pineapple, mango, and passion fruit. However, the tropical aromas are blended.
During the first sip, I taste resin, grapefruit, and floral. Other flavors in the beer are lightly toasted malts, a hint of herbal, grass, orange, white pepper, mangos, and pine.
The mouthfeel is tannic and astringent. The body is medium, has a medium carbonation, and a pleasant finish.
This is a no-frills IPA, yet it is well made. The malt backbone is firm but allows the hops to blossom. Fantastic beer, I wish I could get this where I live. It would be in my summer beer profile.

Bought this beer in Portland's airport. Excellent price for a can at an airport, $2.10 for a 12oz can.
A&S: Unfortunately, I didn't have anything to pour this beer out into, so I am just going by previous reviews and the look on the lip of the can. Looks to be a transparent and highly carbonated light yellow. Again smell factor is a little difficult, but I am mostly getting citrus (lemon) and pineapple hoppiness. After reading the can and probably by suggestion, I am also getting hints of peach.
T&M: Piney and citrus hops dominate the upfront part of the taste. A bit of peppery spice. Taste has more of a cereal malty backbone than I expected from the aroma. Carbonation is pretty sharp and crisp. The body is on the lower side. Smooth when slightly swooshed around in the mouth.
Overall: Solid beer. More balanced than I expected. I have seen a lot of their stuff on Tavour, but haven't tried them yet. I would be interested in trying more of their stuff.

Pours a slightly cloudy, but see through, golden color. A nice initial head gave way to a thin layer of white froth.
The aroma to me is dank, earthy, subtlety fruity, subtle grainy malt smell as well.
Taste is mostly fruity and earthy and there is a nice malt backbone that accompanies it.
Mouthfeel is great, it is super clean and there is a resiny feel left long after the sip is gone. Moderate bitterness.
