#gifted by #ElysianBrewing, Jacktail IPA summarized: citrus, pine, and dank resin—paired best with a salty, earthy Kale Caesar. Clouds teased all day, then rain hit as we left.

#gifted by #elysianbrewing we have the following thoughts.

Capitol Hill moods, a hazy pour, and a sky that couldn’t quite make up its mind 🌥️🍻

We posted up at Elysian’s bar in Seattle, tucked into the hum of Capitol Hill, where the light filters in just soft enough to make every pint glow a little brighter. Outside, water-heavy clouds loomed all afternoon—threatening, teasing—until they finally gave in and spilled as we made our exit.

In hand: Jacktail Hazy IPA. It arrives crowned with a shaving cream-white head, sitting atop a golden haze—cloudy but still alive with light. As it settles, a soft cap lingers, inviting that first swirl and sip.

On the nose: tropical bursts meet orange citrus, layered with classic pine and that unmistakable dank edge. Take a sip and it opens up—grapefruit and orange upfront, a touch of pineapple tucked behind, all wrapped in resinous pine that hangs on long after. Medium-bodied, a gentle warmth and a finish that coats the palate like a slow fade.

At the table, we kept it classic and comforting:
🥬 Kale Caesar — dinosaur kale tossed in old-school dressing, freshly grated parm, and garlic sourdough croutons
🍗 Buttermilk chicken strips — crispy garlic breadcrumb coating, shoestring fries, ranch, and spicy honey mustard

Both held their own next to the Jacktail, but the Kale Caesar stole it. The salty crunch of croutons, rich dressing, and sharp parm played perfectly against the beer’s citrus and pine, while the kale’s earthiness grounded every sip.

Good beer, great food, and a Seattle sky that finally broke right on cue.
