12 oz can with no date, but there was a fine date on the six pack can holder.

A — Pours slowly and lightly hazy initially, there is a fair amount of sediment at the bottom of the can that I chose to rouse up and pour into the beer, creating a very vibrant and hazy off-yellow color in the glass. An off white wheaty colored head forms at the top and leaves behind some spots of respectable lacing.

S — Smell is pungent and vibrant with citrus and piney hop aromas, quite nice, fresh, piney, earthy, herbal.

T — Light malt base really lets the hops shine here, load of citrus, orange, mandarin, lemon, lime, piney, zesty, herbal, nicely done.

M — Light bodied, easy going, ample carbonation, easy drinking and refreshing.

O — A nicely done Pale or Session IPA, whatever you want to call it. A nice dosing of hops in a small ABV package.

12oz can with no freshness date, purchased at Bottles, in Millwood, Washington, for $1.99.

Poured into an Iron Goat anniversary glass (essentially a 12oz glass shaped like a beer can), this was a good looking beer. Slightly dark golden amber color, with great clarity and a nice looking, eggshell white head, that left good lace.

Piney and grapefruity hop aroma leads the nasal parade. Also some subordinate, biscuity malt scent.

A little more restrained in the taste than in the nose. Seems a little too "front loaded" to achieve greatness. The hops kick things off well enough, but things kinda trail off after that. It's not a huge drop off, but there's definitely a diminution of flavor over the course of the taste, with things ending on a ho-hum note after starting well.

Light bodied, with a mouthfeel that manages to be resiny but a little too watery and flabby. Some added crispness at the finish would help nicely.

Like some session IPAs I've had, this is a little too much of a compromise. Good hop flavor at the beginning, but it ends as a bit of a letdown. Possible this one's getting a little old, though. I'll adjust if future exposure suggests that's required.

My first beer from these guys, the pour yields a golden yellow beer with lots of hop haze and a bone-white head.

Aromas are piney hops and some citrus, but a bit thin. The taste, though is heavy pine and citrus, and a full mouthfeel for a session IPA. This would be an imminently crushable lawnmower beer. Well done by this brewery.

12 oz can from Pilgrim's. Aroma is fresh hops and smells of citrus, flesh and zest, tropical fruit, faint lotion. Pours hazy golden with a one finger off-white head with decent retention and some lace. Mouthfeel is a little thin and watery. Overall, a nice hoppy brew with a modest ABV. 8,4,8,3,17

Pours with minimal head and lacing. Love the look of this beer. Nice amber orange cloudy appearance. Great color and look. Nice grapefruit and orange notes with some piney bitterness at the finish. Great mouthfeel, on the thicker side. Not much of a smell, but not a deal breaker for me. Good refreshing brew. Would get again

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy, medium golden amber with a two finger off-white head with good retention and lots of lacing. Aroma of piney and citrus hops, orange citrus, onion; aromatic and approaching the intensity of a robust IPA. Flavor is neutral malt, citrus hops with light piney notes, orange and lemon citrus, citrus rind; finishes with a bit more semi-sweet lightly biscuit malt and faint tropical fruit flavors. Long lingering citrus hops. Medium bodied with good carbonation. A pleasant pale ale that does not quite live up to its robust aroma, but fits the style. The malt is laid back, allowing the hops to carry the flavor, but does come out in the finish with some very pleasant light fruit and biscuit notes. Great aroma and nice finish. A well made pale ale that teases that it's an IPA when you open it.
