Fort George Brewery: 3-Way IPA 2025 (Hazy)
Astoria, OR
🍺🍺
Hazy IPA: 7.0%
Color Note: Pale golden hazy with thin and fast-vanishing lacing
Taste Note: Sweet and tropical aroma; silky and butery smooth mouthfeel; lots of citrus peels; not too (rather lacking a bit of) sweet, and with a bit tannin; bitter lasts a moment before turning into a yeast sweet; fairly thin on the body and easily crushable.
Overall smooth mouthfeel with refreshing fruits and hop, moderate sweet and bitter, although I wished it to be bolder.

Fort George Brewery: 3-Way IPA 2025 (West Coast)
Astoria, OR
🍺🍺
IPA: 7.0%
Color Note: Dank golden semi-clear with moderate lacing
Taste Note: Floral and citrusy aroma; very refreshing, light and crisp for an IPA; floral, tropical and hop are all light and clean but fairly well balanced; easily crushable.
Overall quite surprised that Fort George is experiencing another style of their 3-Way IPAs. Although I prefer hazy, this west coast IPA is a good option for crisp and light IPAs, especially when pairing with BBQ or hot pots.

Gold Medal: Taiwan Beer

Color Note: Clear and dim golden with thin lacing
Taste Note: Malty aroma; crisp and refreshing taste profile with a bit of fermination; ideal for summer.
However, this beer is more here to represent memories and stories of the past 15 or 20 years. Amongst many chapters of life, roads cross and diverge. We meet at one intersection, walk along for one or many blocks, and may continue or head our separate ways. When we share the road, we grow, support, and party; when we part ways, we give the most sincere wishes to one another not knowing which intersection we will meet again, or ever. But no matter in what realms, we are always bonded by faith, stronger in love.
