Thanks to slob from Stateline for sharing a sample. Orange amber color with small head on my sample size. Aroma was caramel and bready malts. The flavor was caramel malts, floral hops and some bread. Dry mouthfeel. Well balanced beer. Above average all the way around.

Beer shared by Slob. Poured an orange amber type color, decent initial head, ok lacing too. The aroma was caramel malts and some floral aspects. Flavor was caramel, amber type malts, floral hopping along with some herbal qualities. A simple, somewhat weak (dare I say watery?), at least boring, example of the style, drinkable, in need of more flavor and character. Thanks, Bert, always fun no matter the beer.

22oz bottle. Dark amber gold color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is grapefruit, fruit and sweet with a touch of wood. A medium bodied IPA. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are grapefruity, citrus and a touch earth/wood. Nice balance. Lots of earthy and herbal characters that go along with a strong hop bitterness. Crisp finish. Nice representation of the Pacific Northwest IPA style. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is bitter, yet there is some sweetness as well.
