Cloudy amber, offwhite froth. Resin and caramel aroma, hints of rubber. Mouthfeel is slick and oily. Fruity, piney flavour. Solid caramely backing, passionfruit. Has a nice DIPAish roughness to it. Nice.

22oz bomber pours with a very near clear pure gold body that supports a white head of foam. The aroma offers up malt sweetened pineapple, grapefruit and other various soft citrus notes. The taste delivers a moderate level of bitter grapefruit and pineapple and then getting into a bit of cantaloupe and malts. Nice. It creates a bit more bitter fruity hoppiness than it does thin strands of tropical fruity juiciness. It ends even with pineapple and a thin cracker malt sensation.

Almanac tap takeover at PreFunk Nampa Clear orange, light amber. Strong resinous flavors and aromas from this hoppy IPA I didnt love the flavors though. Seemed chemically and harsh. Lacking the more fresh bright up front hop character.

This was poured into an English pint glass.
The appearance was a glossy to hazy almost burnt orange/yellow color with a slim finger’s worth of white foamy head. Light semi-foamy lacing.
The smell starts off with a nice sweet maltiness up front with a sweet citrus and a nice light sweet to semi-bitter piney-ness in the background.
The taste replicates the smell nicely. Moving sweet over my tastebuds, delicate in the aftertaste and gives off a decent dry feel in the finish.
On the palate, this one sits about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable smooth feel about it. Carbonation felt nice.
Overall, for an AIPA that is \"west coast styled,\" I say it works. I’d have again.
