Citrusy fruity, slightly piney, minimally grassy, hoppy aroma, minimally spicy, pale malty background, notes of lemon, some grapefruit, woody pineapple, a touch of blueberry, hints of cracker. Taste is moderately bitter, citrusy and slightly tropical fruity, minimally piney and grassy hoppy, slightly spicy, pale malty basis, notes of lemon, some woody pineapple, a touch of blueberry and grapefruit, hints of salty cracker; minimally tart-ish, citric and zesty finish.
Oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, very dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Well crafted, crisp, clean, citrusy - pretty good.

Canned 5/19/26, drunk 7/14/26.
Juicy, round, woody and green with light kumquat, grapefruit and unripe apricot. Not too much acid, and a pretty typical, white bread-like maltiness of a contemporary WCIPA. Clean, no resin.
Bitter up front with pine and potpourri. Lemongrass, spruce, white grapefruit; all well-done and typical WC IPA hop notes but no cringing resin or unbalanced acidity. Bready malts showing a bit of sourdough-like character in conjunction with the hop. Clean and very malty but dry enough, especially given the acidity.

Pours a lightly hazy, pale golden yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is citrus, grass, straw, pine. Flavors follow. Clean, crisp mouthfeel. Fairly mild level of hop bitterness in the finish, given the style.
