It doesn’t take a genius to know quality West Coast IPAs require a stupid amount of hops. A generous blend of Nugget hops and the four Cs—Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Columbus—brings forth a myriad of tropical fruit flavors and a brawny, persistent bitterness that makes for a highly intelligent brew.

Pours amber with a fading head.Nose shows fresh hops, piny notes, tropical fruit and some clean sweet malt.Incredibly hoppy flavours. Pure pine and grapefruit with very little malt to support it.Carbonation seems a bit high. Body could be thicker.

Bottle - drank from bottle so no appearance notes. Aroma and flavor are nice citrusy, with some spruce and cat piss / dank notes in there as well. Light sweet, light plus bitter, well masked abv. Medium body, somewhat oily finish. Quite a good DIPA.

Bottle: Pours a pale copper color with a large beige head. Tons of sticky lacing. Piney and tropical fruit nose is mild, but loads of hops in the taste. Sweet and pungent. Has a little herbal presence like iced tea. Really good hop flavor. Nice

Draft. Hazy deep gold/orange body with big white head. Aroma of citrus, peach, tropical fruits (pineapple and mango), orange. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately to heavily bitter. Medium body, watery texture turning velvety, lively carbonation. The sweet, fruity, citrus start to this beer yields fairly quickly to lingering bitterness. Taste of resin and grapefruit in the end.

Nez de houblon citrique, moyennement résineux, légèrement floral et herbeux, fruité (agrumes sucrées, notes de mangues et d’abricots), moyen de grains de malt sucré et léger de caramel. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture légèrement huileuse et résineuse. Goût amer de houblon citrique et moyennement floral et aux notes herbeuses (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) avec un goût fruité sucré (agrumes, léger d’abricots, traces de mangues et de pêches) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt sucré avedc un moyen-léger goût de caramel ainsi que des notes de biscuits. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve des notes d’alcool réchauffant ainsi qu’une amertume de houblon progressant vers un côté plus herbeux, asséchant et moyen-léger résineux jusqu’à la finale.
