On tap at the source in Astoria, OR; first experience w/ this brewery; 45 IBU
Poured into a pint glass
P- copper/amber with a small white head; quick recession; a good amount of lacing left behind
N- medium nose; lots of caramel malt
T- citrus hop forward, smooth sweet caramel malt mid-palate, and a coating hop finish; great balance
MF- medium-bodied with medium carbonation; very nice- compliments the flavor profile well
O- a fantastic pale ale, overall; extremely high drinkability; would definitely have again!

On-tap at Plew's Brews.
appearance - nice transparent golden, white head, sticky retention
smell - hop forward, citrus and grapefruit aromas
taste - amazing hop flavor! generous citrus and grapefruit profile, west coast style ipa
mouthfeel - medium body, perfect carbonation
overall - didn't expect the vast hop flavor, has the hop level of an ipa with the tamer body of a pale, such a great brew

Had on tap at Belmont station. This is a 5.5% abv pale ale.
Appearance- Not-quite clear golden straw color. Thick, White head that turns to a film 4.5/5
Smell- Pine resin hop smell. Grassy goodness. 4.5/5
Taste- Citrus and pine all at the same time. Strong bitterness in the backend. There is a small amount of sweetness from the malt. 4.5/5
Mouthfeel- Perfect for a pale. 5/5
Overall- Such a good beer. I would say this is a borderline IPA. This was made with all citra hops. Very well done. It is fun to taste a single hop beer. Especially for a homebrewer. 4.5/5
