Pours a golden color with a medium head that stayed for a while. Doesn't have the flavor of most IPAs. It is a lot milder than most IPAs with no real bitterness or bite. Easy drinking at 6% and a nice mild beer. Rated 11-8-2023

From a 12 oz single can into a shaker, pours a clear gold tinged light amber, 1 finger of head that resides quickly. Moderate caramel and bready malts, and then citrusy hops…maybe a little tropical hint here and a little pine there, too. Good, but a little one note. Body is middling, moderate bitterness, carbonation is middle to high…watery and oily on the front half but dries out toward the end. Solid and tasty…good but not excellent, as far as PNW ipas go.

Clear amber brew with plentiful foam in the New Belgium snifter. Fairly rich and malty but tingling with carbonation. Citrus is the main aromatic. Finishes with a moderate bitterness. Tastes of grapefruit with a touch of mango and lime peel. Thoroughly drinkable and aromatic hoppy brew. From the 12 oz can purchased at the local Co-op Market. Dated 02/16/23.
