Beautifully clear India Pale Ale featuring the unique character of Citra and Chinook hops (...plus Columbus & Falconer's Flight). This light copper beer has huge citrus and tropical fruit aromas, with hints of perfume and pine. Flavors like apricot, guava, and orange hit the tongue accompanied by a mild evergreen note. There’s just enough caramel sweetness to balance the hop flavors, but this is really a showcase for the beautiful varieties of hops grown in the Northwest.

Beautiful, clear straw pour from a 16oz can yields a large white fluffy head. Traditional hoppiness, West Coast and Northwest influences for sure, but with only mild bitterness though the floral, piney, and resinous notes abound, its still smooth.

A solid IPA that offers a touch of toast to combine the piney hops with a mix of orange and grapefruit rind in back. Fairly balanced with carbonation joining bitterness to add a light bite before that grapefruit comes out.

Very good West Coaster. Sulphur and bitter hops that work nicely with the malt. Strong and balanced, but I do not get much of the fruit, just a hint of it , probably because malt sweetness is held in check. Rather dry and a bit metallic on finish yet can be a touch thick on the back of throat.
I will buy this again.

Bottle poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass
A: Pours golden amber with a frothy pale tan head that settles to a light layer and laces nicely.
S: Citrus, pine, and a solid hit of tropical and stone fruit, bready slightly biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
T: Resinous pine hits strong up front gives way to citrus, grapefruit, orange, and lemon lime, tropical and stone fruit, mango, peach, apricot, passion fruit, and guava, bready slightly biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
M: A touch on the fuller side of medium body, moderately prickly carbonation.
O: Classic Pacific Northwest and new school hop flavors mixed together beautifully.

16oz can dated 6/7/21 poured into a Teku on 7/24/21.
Pours 1" of off-white, bubbly head. Slightly translucent amber color.
Aromas of tropical fruit: mango and papaya. Slightly resinous pine notes.
Berry and bubble gum flavors, mango, and some bitterness toward the end with pine.
Some astringency and low effervescence. Medium-bodied.
A well-balanced West Coast IPA that leans toward fruity hop flavors with just enough bitterness. Very good.

16oz can, canned 5/11/21. Pours clear yellow gold with a medium frothy white head that goes to a thin film that laces the glass some.
The aroma is lots of slightly stinky piney hops with some bready malt.
The flavor is slightly sweet bready malt with a little fruit and lots of piney hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a nice WC IPA.

Pours bright, translucent amber. 2 finger white head leaving plenty of lacing. Smell is citrus, melon, sweet malt, and subtle bitter hop. Taste follows suit with the addition of some pine notes as well as the hop bitterness morphing into a dank kind of taste as well. Feel is full and velvety but crisp as well. Good beer. Would drink again.
