Airport Beer: SEA Concourse A

Posted by Patrick under Beer Travel

I’m not in San Francisco yet, so I’m doing the next best thing — having a beer.

I am at the Seattle Taproom (run by Pyramid Brewery), and this is Pyramid’s Thunderhead IPA. According to the description from the menu, it is nicknamed “Hophead Nectar” and has Tomahawk hops as the signature flavor element.

My impression is that the hop finish, while certainly as bitter as an IPA should be, has a certain desirable spiciness that quickly turns vegetal and very earthy. I like everything about this beer except for the 20 second-later taste in my mouth.

Next time I’ll get the Snow Cap or the Hefeweizen, but it’s great to know that at least there are good options.
