Isn't that the same IPA that's been on board for a little while now? I like it, it's quite good.

I don’t use drink beer on flights (except for those freebies on QX Q400s back in the days. But I might give this a try… or at the club.

GrjApp and I met up at the N Lounge last week, and the server was more than happy to pour a taster of the Cloud Cruiser; unfortunately we had each already had a Tieton cranberry cider, so our palates weren’t really in a condition to be discerning
I tried another taster at Fremont Brewing over the weekend and came to the same conclusion (possibly again due to prior consumption
)
I find it slightly on the citrusy and bitter side, with a mildly unusual aftertaste, but it’s decidedly ok
