Using some of our favorite hops, we brewed a West Coast IPA with notes of pungent tropical fruit and sticky resinous pine. To amp up the aromatics even more, we then infused it with hop terpenes for a truly dank drinking experience.

On tap at Reuben’s, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is fairly clumsy, with bready malt, some earthy hops, and a touch of dankness—doesn’t smell as advertised. Flavour is no better, with a dull hop expression (earthiness, some cardboard) and a dry bready malt base. Pretty crappy hop expression. Not good.

16 oz can from Costco. Aroma is floral, bready, citrus peel, freshly chopped wood. Pours hazy golden with a one finger bone-white head with good retention. Taste is moderately bitter backed by a candy sweetness reminiscent of cotton candy grapes. Not crazy about this.
