Poured from a 16 oz can with an illegible date code.
Aroma is hop forward with lots of grapefruit pith, tropical citrus, and passion fruit. Light notes of stone fruit and dank, oily resin. Medium light cracker malt notes and light alcohol.
Pours a clear, golden color with a medium large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes steadily to the edges where a small film lingers.
Flavor has a medium sweetness with medium light cracker malt notes. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly strong hop notes of grapefruit pith. Lighter notes of oily, pine resin, tropical citrus, stone fruit and passion fruit.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid West Coast IPA. Lots of classic hop character with grapefruit pith and oily pine resin. Lighter passion fruit and stone fruit notes. Balanced malt notes and sweetness. Fairly bitter.
