12 oz. can. Pours a clear gold color with a white head and good retention. Spotty lacing. Piney hops aroma. Very hoppy flavor to match, but not as biting bitter as I expected. At least the 6.8% ABV is well hidden. Another tick.

Mild Aromas of bitter Hops and pale malt. Flavors are like nose bittersweet on the mild side not complex.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 3/2/2018. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, apricot, pineapple, mango, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, mint, pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. A bit muddy and not as vibrant on hops in the aromas. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, apricot, pineapple, mango, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, mint, pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, peach, apricot, pineapple, mango, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, mint, pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 6.8%. Overall this is a very good IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Feels like Chinook, Columbus, Centennial, and probably Amarillo. Classic hop profile. Very dank and earthy hops; sizable malt backbone, but not too sweet with adequate lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable and well made offering.

Very good IPA, a nice homage to my beloved Alesmith IPA, a pine-laden mix of tangerine, grapefruit, earth, and grass, all set against grainy semisweet malts and a pervading, persistent bitterness. West Coast as hell (no haze in sight, probably why it rates so low) and proud of it. Nice.

Draft. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of fruit, spices, hops, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, hops, straw, and citrus fruits, leading to a bitter finish.
