Use of classic and modern hops emphasize intense tropical dankness. Bitter and balanced.

Pint can from Jow. Thanks. Can is a gusher. Pours a slightly hazy brass color with a big foamy white head that has fair retention. The aroma is medium in strength with pineapple, grapefruit and pine resins. The taste is pine in the forefront with light grapefruit and caramel filling in the back. The Palate is full and coats the mouth evenly. Finishes long with lingering bitter pine. Overall: First rate West coast style IPA. Paired well with some imported sharp provolone and crackers.

West Coast OG. Piney, sweet, hop bite. Well done.

Bottled on 12/07/16.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a golden amber color with a fair transparency about it. Half finger white foamy head that sustains for a little bit and then dissipates nice and even.
The aroma starts off with a sweet papaya, pineapple and mango. Bittersweet pine develops as it warms and plays with a crisp sweet underlying malt.
The flavor starts with that tropical juicy sweetness and rolls right on into the pine which is fairly bitter with a crisp bitter piney aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation and quite low, subtle soft feel still, with a sly bitter harsh bite.
Overall, nicely done west coast styled AIPA by Frost. The malt level is lower than a lot of other west coast IPA’s but I liked this one mainly for me.
