Bottle from Albertsons. Nothing stands out here, pretty average all around. Clear, bright golden, small ring of head. Light aroma focuses on hops, light citrus notes. Taste is mildly sweet, some tropical essence as well. Light lingering bitterness.

Pours a golden honey with a finger and a half of foamy head that slowly settles to a thin cap with some lacing. Faint aroma of citrus. Taste follows nose.

Pours a lightly hazy gold with a skiff of white head that drops to a tiny ring, leaving barely any lacing. Light citrus and some bread crust in the nose. The flavor is dry hoppy bitterness and some cracker malt. Moderate carbonation and pretty dry. This is a pretty decent beer all in all, but nothing to write home about

12 oz 2018 bottle into a pint glass. The slightly hazy amber body has lots of visible carbonation rising to a creamy. moderate size, off-white head. Good retention and decent lacing.
Feel: medium body with good carbonation; Smooth.
Moderately hoppy and bitter for style, but mild aroma.

Tried on tap at Bulldog Saloon Lynnwood, WA. Not bad. Like the lacing. Good flavor. Slightly citrus smell.

Our first from this brewery. Nice amber pour, moderate head, light lacing. Hoppy aroma, but light and fades away. Tastes like a typical IPA from here in the Pacific Northwest: hop forward, good balance with a malt backbone, usually well-crafted and no real flaws. Good, fails to standout from the crowd. I'd take one on draft with a burger or pizza.

I have liked the other Full Sail (Amber and 8 pound fresh hop) beers. This one fell short of those.
Pours a hazy, light gold with a decent white head and side glass lace.
Aroma: Musky, citrus and with a tint of pine.
Taste: Has a sour taste that does not include much citrus. Hops are dull and what's there is very sour. Malts are the same.
Leaves a bit to be desired, and my rating is actually better than my taste buds say this one deserves.

12 oz bottle, pkg 8/16/17. Pours slightly hazy dark gold with a small creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass some.

The aroma is sweet sugary crystal malt and some fruit.

The flavor is sweet sugary malt and fruit with some biscuit notes and a light grassy bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, an overly sweet IPA.

L: Clear gold color with a medium creamy white head that leaves some on top and rings of lacing all around the glass.

S: Notes of of dank hops, some pine and notes of mango and orange, with some malt in the background.

T: Strong dank hops with notes of pine and a slight tropical fruit with some sweet malt, leaves a kinda skunky aftertaste in the mouth. A bit subdued for an IPA.

F: Medium body and moderate carbonation.

O: This is a very old school ipa that feels subdued compared to others around today.
