UPDATED: NOV 30, 2020 Deep orange and densely colored with little haze and with fine white foam. Malty caramel, cookie, citrus tang, hints of burned rubber, geranium, earthy pine. Not a whole lot of bitterness or residual sweetness but some astringency. Body is full and lightly creamy, slightly soft carbonation. A very average beer.

UPDATED: OCT 23, 2020 strawberry, coconut and oats I smell. taste lemon, corn, grapefruit rind. pale hazy yellow with frothy white head. pretty light on the palate. hoppy fruity finish. my can says 6.8%

UPDATED: JUL 17, 2019 From a 16 oz can into a stem glass. Pours orange-yellow with head and lace. Aroma of skunk, grains, citrus. Significant carbonation and mouthfeel. Flavors of grains, citrus rind, pine, orange zest, minerals, hay, straw hops. Overall rich, flavorful, bright and bitter with some nice citrus notes.

UPDATED: DEC 16, 2018 16 oz. can, pours a cloudy peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with dank hops, some pot, and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with dank hops, some pot, piney and citrusy notes, and biscuity malt. Piney, pithy, and dank on the palate. Good stuff.

16 ounce can. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a small white head. A big funky citrus nose. Rich flavors, husky round lemons, citrus, sour wheat, a bit of funk. Interesting. Quite tasty.

Hazy sunshine in a shaker pint, pours with an epic foamy lacing. The color reminds me of an orange Julius whip. The scent of grapefruit is somewhat subdued (probably was much riper two months ago when it was canned )😭. Elements of orange and near ripe mango in the taste. The finish belies the direct flavor, almost no bitterness. Very refreshing. cheers Matchless!

@ Beer Junction. Opaque, medium head.  Very papaya, bitter, grapefruit, a touch doughy but pretty tasty with big bright.

Draft at Watershed. Pours a murky bright medium golden amber with a scant sudsy white head that settles quickly away. Bright pineapple nose. Creamy medium body with moderate carb. Lightly toasted caramel with beautiful juicy pineapple on the mid palate. Long tangy finish.

Chuck’s 85th, Seattle. I ordered this after getting andrewje41’s very enthusiastic recommendation, after a cross-town text conversation. Soft string head, super haze body, juicy weight. Fruit snacks nose; fruit candies. Plenty of guava like the candy I had at the Thai restaurant the other night. This is insane juice, with only the minimal pith bitterness. The fruit juice character, with thin dry bittering, is rather incredible. Interesting hop mix which goes to fruity, pulpy depths beyond citrus. Some grapefruit for sure though. To parrot Andrew’s rate, the fruit smoothie (with lactic quality) is strong and nice in this. Reminds me of previous Matchless efforts fruit profile of the Rainbow series by Seapine. Not to my taste but this is well constructed and tasty.

Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound, Bothell. Then another pint. Couldn’t help it. Thick, hazy orange juice pour with a cream cap head. What a treat this IPA is. Aroma is bursting with a tart tropical fruit. Mango, orange, pineapple. Sour fruit smoothie like aroma. Flavor is a little tart too, wondering if this was inintentional, or a nice mistake. Tropical Fruit constant flavor. Orange juice. Fruit puree. Flavor matches the aroma pretty closely. Really wondering if this is another beer that Matchless adds no fruit at all, much to my surprise, but just finds a magical hop combination instead. Coming from the brewer that shows us that hops are the new fruit, I’m not too surprised to see the level of mixed fruit here. Peaches in the late palate. Creamy vanilla to round the flavor out. The tart constant seems to seperate this from the rest of the pack. This is a damn near perfect IPA for my taste. Fun to experience this new Norwegian yeast strain, and find gold in the first taste. Starting to look like there will be some competition in the local Seattle IPA game. This was one of the best I’ve had. Seriously impressed with this one.
