L. Light, and a dark golden brown. Which is certainly pleasing. Lacing is great with a light foam on top. Bonus points for awesome logo. Has recently changed from what’s portrayed.
Smell. Fruity with light hints of fig and honey. After notes of sweet flower and roasted hops fill the nose. Very pleasing and surprising for a lager.
T. Certainly a heavier tasing lager. Northern hops really comes though. Which leads to the feeling of a TPA/IPA taste. With this, this beer needs an identity. It’s an T/I pale ale or not. It almost seems like a weird hybrid. Still, the sweet and less bitter taste is the base of this drink.
Feel. Like an T/A/IPA. Although it’s not by tasting. The feel leads to more confusion. Hard to come to an conclusion.
Overall. Still a good casual drink. Possibly something to enjoy by the summer fire pit. If your looking for a good, 1st class well built beer. This isn’t for you. Looks elsewhere. But… for those who are interested in getting introduced to the feel, look and taste of hop filled pale ales. This would be a start.

A 12oz. can dated with a best by date of 08/08/16 poured in a 13oz. snifter.
Look- Pours a brilliant clear dark gold with a generous finger of frothy off white foam.
Smell- Very malt forward with a hint of grapefruit.
Taste- Quite floral in the beginning followed by a touch of grapefruit. It finishes with a hearty dose of malt.
Feel- Starts on the slick side, finishes with a slight bitter hop bite.
Overall- This one is leans more on the malt forward side lacking any of the juicy hop smell or flavor that I crave. It is very easy drinking and I wouldn't object to putting some in my pack while paddling or hiking. Worth a shot for that reason.

Clear amber color and plenty of foam in the Ciney snifter. Pleasantly aromatic. Flowery and resiny aromas. This is faintly malty but very dry. More dry than the typical IPA of any variety. Very light body with just that slight crackery malt taste. Sudsy mouthfeel but rather sharp.
A bitter finish. A touch of melon and apple flavors. This is yet another light and sharp IPA that still has too much alcohol to be in the gulp from the can category. But it's also rather delicate and aromatically flavored. From the 12 oz can purchased at Elizabeth Station in Bellingham.

Since moving up here from so cal. I might just think it's the closest ups to Pliny if not blind pig?!?
Strong west coast IPA background
12oz can poured in a IPA glass
2finger head off white, gold to copper
T: piney, citrus lemon, green mango/papaya lacks on the backend light grainy taste, straw?
M: light to medium light body but it's nice and dry. Great tingly feel by the micro bubble
Overall pretty good beer easy smooth and keeps you wanting more

12oz can poured into 10oz goblet. Poured a lightly hazy orange-gold color with about 1/3 inch of white head that had moderate retention and light lacing.
The aroma was mostly citrus hops, with some pine notes. There was also a bit of grain in the background. Pretty similar on the tongue, pine upfront, with some citrus across the middle, and a dry, grapefruity finish.
The body was light-medium, smooth, and had a finish that was drier than than semi-dry, but not fully dry. Drinkability was very good, the beer goes down smoothly and evenly. Overall, a nice brew, pretty typical for a PNW IPA. Worth trying when you see it.
