"A beer designed to showcase hops! We use hops all the way from first wort hopping to dry hopping. Magnum, Golding, Cluster, Chinook and Columbus hops create this bitter nectar with just enough malt in the background. 70 IBU's, 6.8% alc/vol"

Taster at brewery. Light golden pour with mild haze, small white head. Sweet fruity aroma. Taste is more fruit basket flavors, small bitter bite, pine, herbal.

From a 16oz. can purchased at the beer store.
I think I've had this one before, but on tap somewhere last time. Smells of pine and sweetness. Flavor is straight up old-school IPA. Almost reminds me of the sadly deceased Bridgeport IPA, but with just a little more of everything. Smooth, refreshing, nondescript hops just riding over the top of gentle malts. Bitter lingers after.
Might have to take a trip to Corvallis.

Very fruity hop flavor profile. Strong IPA. Banana flavor. Light color. Grassy and grapefruit. Intensely bitter aftertaste but still mellow. Dry. Bright.

Bought 2 crowlers at B15 brewery Sept. 10.
....note that ABV is 6.5%, not 6.8% listed on BA.
If you like Sticky Hands, but are in the mood to down more than a couple, this beer is a very good alternative. Taste is similar to SH, but the ABV is a bit more modest.
