On tap at 7 Seas Tacoma
A: Pours golden amber with a frothy eggshell white head that settles to a light layer and laces nicely.
S: Soft tropical and stone fruit, citrus, grassy, resinous, and toasty bready malt.
T: Resinous, grassy, a bit spicy, citrus zest, big grapefruit plus some orange and lemon, a little tropical and stone fruit, peach, apricot, passion fruit, and hints of mango, big sturdy backbone of toasty bready malt, and just a touch of sweetness on a fairly dry finish.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation.
O: Checks all the boxes you'd want for a classic PNW wet hop IPA, but I've had better.

2016 Fresh Hop version comes a darker gold from the tap. Aroma isn't anything overpowering or special but a subtle pleasant. Taste is good though a little lacking in hop for me for a fresh hop. If you increase that the malt needs to come out a bit more to support it. Feel is good and pleasant and finishes with a faint hop sweetness. Very drinkable but has room to improve.

On tap at The Red Hot in Tacoma, WA.
Appearance: Poured into a pint glass and pours an dark orange-gold color with a nice white head and some carbonation bubbles.
Smell: Pale malts, some citrus hops, but not much else. Weak aroma.
Taste: Soft hops with an herbal and grass quality are overpowered by the pale malts. Found the hops too subtle and not the centerpiece of the beer.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, soft mouthfeel, and a bit low carbonation.
Overall: Disappointing for a fresh hop beer. Hops aren't pronounced enough for a fresh hop IPA.

A: Poured a golden orange color w/ good carbonation and a nice white cap, some bubbles and minimal lacing
S: Faint for a wet hop beer. Where is the dank? A little bit of citrus peaks out but not nearly enough
T: The malt bill gobbled this beer up. The blend of pale and crystal malts is questionnable as it battles with citrus and green llike vegetable notes, never been a fan, the wet hops are either lacing or smothered by the malt, not really getting any bog fresh/wet hops here just a whole of crystal malt bleh.
M: Medium body, a tad low on carbonation leaves this beer heavy and annoying with the veggie feel and pale and crystal
O: Average at best but if you want a super dank wet hop beer...this is NOT it
