Breakside broke me! Winning.
Pours light gold and clear with a snow white head. It would look light a lager if it wasn't for the slightest bit of haze. Aroma is super piney. Lots of hops and resin. Depth of hope flavor. It doesn't have the super bitter suck the moisture out of your tongue effect but there are a lot of hop flavors going on.
old school west coast ipa. dank and orange flavour. at the source.good drinker.
Bomber bottle from Pike grocery by the hotel in Seattle. Very nice IPA. Medium bitterness with a streak of dankness. Also some citrus pith. Nice.
On tap at the Dekum St. location in Portland. Absolutely delicious IPA. Crisp, clean, tropical, lots of hop aroma and flavor. Honestly, I think it's one of the best IPAs I've had. Got a 22oz bottle to bring home.
Poured from 22 oz. bottle.
Lightly hazy, orange-gold with an off-white head and very good lacing.
Aroma of orange, floral hops, dank pine needles and grapefruit.
Taste of dank grapefruit, floral hops and pine.
Medium/full body and medium/high carbonation.

Tap at the Churchill in Phoenix... Pours a rich hold with a foamy white head, lasting with a little lace. Nose is flower, honey and grapefruit, danky edge. A lovely and enjoyable bitter taste on this guy.... Perfect for a spring day in the southwest! Citrus zest, orange and pine.... Very bold, yet straightforward and clean. Good beer!

Bomber from Sam's Quik Shop. Pours orangey with a small foamy beige head. Aroma is orange peel, grapefruit, floral hops, light pine. Flavor is orange, lemon, and grapefruit peel, floral hops, light earthiness, minor tropical fruit.
West Coast IPA with lots of dankness and plenty of citrus rind. Boozy with ample light sweet maltiness holding up the prickly hop spice. Pours lightly hazy golden wiith an ample white sticky head.
Breakside makes some wonderful IPA's. This one is flavorful with a nice hop taste. Not overly bitter, with a citrus and floral taste. I really like this beer.
Flaske: Når en IPA kan drikkes efter Abyss er den en god en af slagsens. Desværre var jeg blevet rimelig vissen på dette tidspunkt og noterne er derefter. Fad: Dagen efter. Et lille nedslag i ratingen men ellers en fin fin øl.
On tap north shore Hawaii clean crisp pour minimal head great aroma piney resinous great balance
Bomber. Lager-like color with a bubbly and quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is big citrus and florals, pine. Similar flavor profile with some orange peel. Light, clean, and easy drinking. Refreshing and tasty but not very bold.
Touch hazy. Tropical and dank. Basement dank. Grapefruit is intense. Floral. Balanced bitterness. Good stuff
Bottle: pours hazy straw color with a white head, excellent hoppy aroma, taste is hoppy, nice bitter finish
0,65l bottle from Whole Foods Portland, shared @ Matinkylä. Pours cloudy golden with a medium head. Aroma is sweet fruity malts with fresh hops. Flavor is sweet malts, fruits, some pine, fresh hops. Very good.
From bomber. Pours cloudy golden with a small white head. Dank aroma and taste with a hint of spring onions. Taste is mildly sweet and bitter, both. Medium mouthfeel. Solid. Enjoyable. Worth seeking out.
NOTE: Statistics above are out of date. Current beer is 6.2% ABV with 64 IBU. Also, the label has now been changed.
22oz bomber: Prominent tropical fruit nose; crystal clear golden hue with very lacy/fine white head; luscious full body mouthfeel with smooth carbonation; taste of bitter tropical fruit and grapefruit (for me, the taste is just a bit overly sweet); finishes with a mouth quenching fruit bitterness & a dry bitter ending.
Wanderlust is some dank stuff. The hop profile is super strong, and the notes are fruity and piney. I can drink this any day of the week.
Bottle at You Can in Portland, Old Truman Brewery. Wow. This is amazing, flavourful, fresh PDX IPA. Really takes you there!
It pours golden with an off white head. Head retention is good. It has an intense grapefruit aroma with some stone fruit. The stone fruit is a little more prominent in the flavor than the grapefruit. It is moderately bitter in the finish.
Strong citrus-grapefruit aroma and taste. Light straw color with very tinny bubbles. Sharp hops taste lingers long. Maybe little heavy on grapefruit. Refreshing and stays with you. Not a first choice IPA but I’d get again at this price point.
Crisp, refreshing citrus IPA. Slight lacey head with NW hops to kick up the flavor. Highly recommend with seafood!
Tap at Breakside on Dekum. Nose of caramel, tropical fruit, and some citrus zest. Medium dark gold, with thick lace. Flavors of caramel, slightly dank hops, citrus (fairly concentrated), and a light metallic note in the finish. Medium body. Good.... but more or less a standard sort of IPA. The regular Breakside IPA (tasted side by side with this one) offers more richness and complexity.
Bottle. Hazy amber beer with a cream head. Nice tropical fruit aroma. Tropical fruit and light earthy flavor. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Tropical fruit and light citrus linger with light earth.
Tap, pours a golden brown with medium head. Notes of old grapefruit, wood, cardboard, semi sweet malt, and pine. Light to medium bodied.
Not sure why this is rated so high...nevermind, it’s distributed well.
Bottle. Golden color, nice body, good fizz, good head. Rich, oily aroma ... thick with dank hoppy aromatics. This drinks with a big, acidic flavor, but with an easy-going mouthfeel. Very nice. (#6910, 1/2018)
The 22 oz bottle I'm tasting says 6.2% "Five Fresh Northwest Hops Tropical, Nuanced North of Refreshing." Pours gold with head and lace. Aroma of straw hops, pale malt, pine, grapefruit, citrus zest. Medium carbonation and mouthfeel. Flavors of grains, pale malt, straw hops, hay, wood, citrus rind. Overall rich, flavorful, both citrus hop bitterness and malt sweetness in a potent and intriguing combination.
