355ml bottle - a little ballsy, going old-school when releasing a new IPA right now.
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a few instances of random splattered lace around the glass as it slowly ebbs away.
It smells of bready and crackery caramel malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a hint of earthy yeastiness, and some plain earthy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, a further biscuity sweetness, still hard to parse generic citrus peel, and more understated leafy, herbal, and grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with maybe a touch of hop astringency making a bit of a minor fuss at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the malt kind of phoning it in during the lingering state.
Overall - this is an adequate rendition of the style, and definitely bereft of any Northeast IPA qualities, as it should be. Easy enough to put back, especially when you just want something to drink and not have to think too much about it. And I don't know why they call this 'field trip', when the brewery is already in the Pacific northwest.
