16 oz can, dated 7/15/19, so it's a shade over 90 days old. Hazy, almost murky pour, with tight frothy head. The hops don't contribute much in the aroma department, so,you get a beer-y nose, which is fine. Nice base of malt, the label lists oats as the one of the three malts ( others are Pilsner and Munich). Clean mouthfeel, pleasant and not overwhelming biiterness. The ABV is right - just enough for a nice IPA. The beer was brewed specifically for a local retailer, so it was not highly distributed.

L: A peach-orange haze with a thick two finger head and clumpy lacing.
S: Mostly mango - soapy and overripe.
T: Mellow and muted tasted of mango, strawberries, and apricot.
F: Smooth, but thin and with low carbonation. Almost flat or nitrous.
O: Drinkable, but lame and nothing to choose to pay for again.

Two 16oz cans grabbed at PCC Natural Market in Canyon Park, Bothell, Washington. I've seen Matchless around but never bit on them. Well here we go. Canned less than a month ago on 7/15/19. Served in a pint glass.
Look- Slightly hazy, bright golden amber color, nice off-white head that recedes quickly, a heavy amount amount of lacing that won't go away. A moderate amount of carbonation stream visible in the glass as it sits.
Smell- Melon and tropical fruit (pineapple and mango), THEN orange juice, floral berries, malt, a slight amount of hop, dank and pine.
Taste- Same as the smell. Fruity, sweet, a light pine in the finish. The fruit picks up the warmer it gets.
Feel- Medium bodied, minimal carbonation on the tongue. A little sticky. Semi-sweet and juicy.
O- A decent rendition of a NE style IPA. Nice to see more solid breweries coming up in the south Puget Sound!

Handsome amber color, slightly hazy, with plenty of white foam in the Orval chalice. Pleasing sudsy mouthful with a malty body. Aroma of lime peel and mango. Hops are listed at Amarillo, Mosaic, El Dorado, and Citra. It's quite fragrant.
Fairly sweet. Flavors of candied orange peel with a sugary dankness. Not very bitter at all. Quite sippable. Overall, a rich and fruity hoppy brew that is well above average for "modern" IPAs. From the 16 oz can purchased up north.
