We joined forces with Faction for this hop-forward West Coast IPA featuring HBC 586 (Krush), Citra, Mosaic, Mosaic Cryo, and Chinook Cryo. Krush leads with bright peach and citrus, while Citra and Mosaic bring tropical fruit and berry notes. The cryo versions crank up the intensity, and Chinook Cryo adds a piney, herbal backbone that ties it all together. Bitter, balanced, and built to showcase these hops. Clean finish, proper bitterness, West Coast all the way!

Poured from a 16 oz can dated February 09, 2026.
Aroma is hop forward with moderately strong citrus notes of grapefruit, tropical citrus, and orange. Lighter notes of passion fruit and dank, oily resin. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a rather clear, brilliant gold color with a medium large, moderately thick, fluffy white head that recedes steadily to the edges where it lingers in clumps. Light lacing and faint legs.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Lots of grapefruit, orange and tropical citrus. Lighter passion fruit and berry notes. Light dank, oily resin.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid IPA. More of a citrus hop profile with some dank, oily notes. Fairly assertive bitterness and balanced alcohol notes. Decent malt profile.
