Can to tulip.
Appearance is as shown in the picture.
Aroma: piney to dark berries up front with some lychee and peachy notes sliding in to stuff the balance; some mixed citrusy to sweet onion and a little nip of hemp
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bitter to bittersweet quality; finishes piney with onion amd peachy tones
Texture: medium bodied; slightly sessionable; good smoothness with a good carb level for a West coast styled IPA; good medium-ish to almost at the high level of the low side of the hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: an extremely well done West coast IPA! Love the use of the Krush Cryo hops in this!

Canned 1/30/26, drunk 3/28/26.
Peach, pear, lychee, kumquat. That sort of thing. The more contemporary melding of citrus and light pine with tropical fruits, as well as no toast/caramel. There's still some C-hop character of old, with a good deal of pine resin, but it's not biting or acidic. Malts seem fluffy and full of honey and white bread-like notes.
Berry and mild grapefruit with an even-lighter-than-the-nose West Coast character that leans more on tropical fruit and supple, fluffy pils-like maltiness. Just a touch of pine spice and very low bitterness. No toast or caramel or sweaty, overboiled hop. So nice how WC IPAs have evolved (to be, you know, drinkable). A ton of flavor and a very burly body here. Wouldn't hate to see a bit more dryness on the finish, but it's a very minor quibble.

16 oz can from Other Half, via delivery, 2/17/26. Pours a clear golden color with a frothy white head, and moderate-plus lacework. Bright aroma of grass, pine, lemon, and grapefruit. Fairly dry on the close. Bright. Smooth. Good mouthfeel overall. Pretty fun beer.
