Rainy Daze Brewing

 

 

 

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a medium goldan amber with a one finger white head with great retention and solid lacing. Aroma of lightly caramel malt, citrus and dank hops, orange, graperfruit, mild mixed, ripe tropical fruit. Flavor follows, with light caramel and pale malt, citrus hops with a little dankness, orange, grapefruit, mild mixed tropical fruit and a bit of pine. Citrus rind and light pine needle finish. Medium bodied with light creaminess. A solid West Coast style IPA that starts out a little understated, but develops good citrus character and finally reveals mixed fruit and pine, which linger in the finish. I'm a fan of fruit esters appearing during a taste and this one delivers that. Nicely done. Probably should have been a little more dank to justify its name, but stands on its own.
