16 FL OZ can
Served in a pokal glass
This beer pours a brilliant amber color with burnt orange highlights. It is topped with an inch of beige head that leaves no lacing.
It has a fresh citrus aroma.
The taste is nice. Citrus dominates and the finish is crisp and clean giving it a refreshing appeal.
Medium to thin mouthfeel
It is a refreshing, clean alternative to an IPA. It is worth a try for sure.

Smells like an ipa. Very floral with some tropical fruit. The malts let you know it is a lager. Crisp like a pilsner, but with a little more heft. Medium bitterness. Very easy drinking.

Poured from a 12 oz can into a snifter.
L - Great looking beer. Light-medium golden color and perfectly clear. Off white head piles high on initial pour and maintains a thick layer and lots of lacing until the beer is gone.
S - Aromas show this to be highly hopped with Northwest style hops, as the beer's name would imply. Extremely strong and sharp aromas of pine, grapefruit and an earthy/woody note. They could certainly be described as "cat-piss", but in the nicest possible way. No malt or yeast notes break through the hops.
T - All hops. For a nanosecond when the beer hits your tongue there is a hint of malt, but it is immediately crushed by sharp, intense hops flavor and bitterness. The flavors are like the aromas: pine, grapefruit, cat, earth, wood. Nothing else comes through. Dry finish has just a hint of sweetness.
F - Light body; moderate carbonation. Bracing level of hops bitterness. No noticeable alcohol presence.
O - This is definitely a beer for hopheads. It's fresh, clean and well-made, but it's a bit too catty and over the top with hops for me. However, if you're into that you will love this beer.
