Wow, 1st review of this beer on BA. Wouldn't have thought a guy 3000 miles away from the brewery would be the first to drop it, but here we are.
Pours a light amber color. 1/2" white head. Looks good. Aroma was all the hallmarks of traditional C hops: grapefruit rind, pine, bittering hops.
Taste was similar, a nice crisp toasted light pale malt body with possibly 5-10% crystal malt that isn't heavy. More grapefruit and wooden pine going on, nice green aspect to it, these aren't dried out pine needles, they're young and green. Carbonation just right, C hops (I suspect the triple crown combos of Cascade, Centennial and Chinook) keep giving that bitter rind and pine push through a drying body that is plenty light, firm but yet not excessive bitteriness (i'd guess 60ibu) and no alcohol warmth.
You don't need to spend a lot of money on proprietary aroma hops to make an enjoyable beer, and this is a great example of an entirely local built beer. Kudos.
