Part of a flight in September 2023. Really good IPA with a good hoppy bitterness and not much bite. 60 IBUs

 

Draft at Clover Island Inn. Dark golden pour, light cloudiness, wispy head. Weak aroma of caramel and hops. Taste is an almost minty hop bitterness, some toffee and sweet notes barely detectable.Average at best.

This is a very good hazy IPA from a local brewery that has managed regional distribution. Had it out of a can in 2020. Hazy caramel color, light head, no noticeable lacing. Smells great, nice ctitrusy nose, very balanced hops and sweetness with the right amount of hops for me. They have been refining this beer over the years and if you haven't had it for a while I would recommend giving it a re-try. My perception from a few years ago was not this favorable but this has moved up to the top of my goto list.

 

 

Dark yellow and light orange combo with a 1/5" white head on the top that goes away slyly. Aroma was boozy, bitter, not inviting.

Taste was hot alcohol, high bitterness, crystal malt caramel and toffee feels. Another one of 'those' ipas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

22 oz bottle from Roth’s Sunnyslope Market in S. Salem. $4.79 This has a new label compared to the page and is 6.7% alc. Pours a nice slightly hazy orange colour with a large ,thick and frothy off white head. Nice aromas, of resiny/piney hop along side good bold caramel malt profiles. Quite balanced in the taste.. malts and hops combine well but the pine driven hop comes though in the end to dominate. Godd clean palate well carbonated and slightly dry in the end..long lasting hop aftertaste. Nice PNW IPA..not bad at all.

 

 

Attractive amber brew with lots of foam and lacing with every pour in the conical snifter. It settles down rather quickly but leaves a frothy mouthfeel with plenty of carbonation. Interesting mild aroma of sweet flowers and fresh straw.

Pleasant malty base with a nice sweetness to go with the hops. Finishes with a deep resiny hop flavor. Spritzy and fruity like pear cider. Hints of mango and apple. Moderately bitter aftertaste with an acidic edge. A very drinkable IPA with plenty of hops and a more friendly sort of flavor. From the 22 oz bottle bought at Bottleworks in Seattle.
