355ml can. Minimally milky, orange, golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Slightly zesty, citrusy fruity and minimally resinous and piney, hoppy aroma, pale and slightly caramel malty background, hints of orange, mandarine, grapefruit, lemon, a touch of pineapple. Taste is moderately bitter, slightly citrusy fruity and minimally resinous and piney hoppy, minimally sugary, pale and minimally caramel malty as well as crystal malty basis with some residual sweetness, hints of mandarine, orange, pineapple, lemon, mild zesty bitterness; a minimally mineral and chalky touch in the finish.
Watery texture, rather indifferent, dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation.
Definitely on the fruity West Coast side, not overly intense, dry and clean - solid.

Tap at Craft! in Paso. Pours light gold-orange with small, off-white head. Moderate tropical on both the aroma and flavor. Moderate malt in the flavor, appearing more strongly in the back half of the palate.

On-tap 16oz pour in Finney's, Old Town Orange on Saturday 15th June 2024. Light haze within the golden orange body, white head. Piney hop front with a fruity centre, nice easy going IPA with enough bitterness to keep me happy.

On tap. Hazy light reddish amber. Lots of smooth reach mellow hop flaors and aromas. Not very bitter and some floral character. Soft and smooth. Tasty

Can. Packed Sept 28. Almost clear amber with a near inch of nearly white head. that laces well and never quite disappears. Aroma of pine sap, brooding tropical fruit, bread. But lighter on the palate than what that suggests with citrus joining breezier tropical notes before a clean bitter end. Solid drop.
