Canned 3/6/26, drunk 4/4/26.
This stuff is clear as day! I'll have to change this to a West Coast (entered it as NEIPA assuming it was such).
No bad OG WC vibes, though. No caramel, toast, resin, sweaty, overboiled C-hop. None of it. Rather fruity with lots of stone fruit, juicy citrus and big white bread-like malt sweetness. Nothing aggressive/acidic here at all, to be honest, and other than the clarity, there's nothing WC about it. Not even any pine or grapefruit, really.
There is ample bitterness in the flavor, not a ton, but enough. It's big and spicy with fruity, lightly juicy, fresh citrus and kumquat-like vibes. Soft, deep malts that are properly attenuated and there's a lingering, vibrant tropical fruit character. This is damned-fine beer; no wonder they made a name for themselves despite being in Sandusky.
