From the brewer
The craft brewing movement is a collaboration without historical precedent, and almost nowhere as much as in the Seattle area. On Saturday, March 6, six local brewers got together at Elysian Brewing’s Airport Way facility to brew the sixth Seattle Beer Week beer, together. Sixes were definitely wild. Six malts, six hop varieties added in artful combination at six different times, and–get this–six different house yeasts as well were added, taking the collaboration down to a whole new level–the microscopic.

On tap this had a much more overt cereal malt finish than I remembered from the bottle. Still dry, still very fresh tasting, still tasty.
Extremely fragrant, fresh tasting session IPA, tending to the fruity side without being syrupy. A small hit of pithy bitterness at the finish but it goes away fast. Really, really pleasant.
Pretty much exactly what you'd expect a Session IPA made by this group to be. There's distinct but not overwhelming hop flavors shining through making this earn the "IPA" title, but not so much that a non-IPA fan would dislike it. This is a Session IPA (emphasis on IPA) done right.
Not the deepest flavors, but good for what it is.
