On tap at Vic's Pizzeria in Olympia, WA.

A- Translucent orange body with 1 finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly leaving some decent lacing.

S- Big pungent hops and citrus tones. Very nice.

T- Taste is very hop forward and bitter. Not much malt to this one, but slight bread.

M- Nice carbonation for style but fairly thin.

O- A nice hop forward single IPA. I really liked this one. I would seek it out if it's in your area.

Serving type: on-tap

Poured from the bottle into a tulip (thistle?) glass.

A burnt brown amber slightly cloudy, with a good three finger head off white in color with thin bubbles. Good scattered lacing on the glass. Quite nice looking.

Dry grain. Husky, and ripping barley sensations. Not so much hop presence going on here, but quite nice though.

Palate hits with much of the same flavor sensations on the nose. Dry, husky, ripping grain. Strangely feels a little burnt. A strong pine hop bitterness but not flavorful. Not much sense of sweetness to go along with this, it feels like a dry grainy hopped up brew. Mouthfeel is full with moderate carbonation, perfectly fine.

Overall though not much to say here, not recognizing and tropical or citrus fruit hop angle on this whatsoever as advertised.

On tap into an American pint glass @ the Wingdome, Greenwood, Seattle. Pours a clear copper w/ minimal head.

Aroma is piney & grassy, some citrus. Mostly evergreen pine.

Taste follows nose - tongue-scouring piney hops, grapefruit rind. Pale biscuity malt serves as a fairly neutral canvas to display the powerful hoppy aroma and flavor.

Overall a decent SoCal style IPA, maybe a little one-dimensional.
