Any other recommendations from this brewer? I notice one called Tricerihops DIPA. Sounds up my alley.

Ninkasi as a whole, like many NW breweries, tend to over-hop their brews (IMO). They have a lot IPAs. Generally I'm not a fan of IPAs, but if they balance the bitterness of the hops with the flavor of the hops and other ingredients, then I like them.

That said, I did like the Tricerahops I had once and I do enjoy Radiant Ale (summer seasonal).

I thought the Believer Double Red and Sleigh'r Dark Double Alt (fall seasonal) were unbalanced bitter.

As for the less-hoppy offerings, I've always enjoyed Oatis Oatmeal Stout, the Renewale Porter (winter 2012) is good, and the Imperiale Stout (special release) isn't balanced (too bitter) for me.
