16 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 9/2019. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy medium golden/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red apple, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, cracker, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red apple, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, cracker, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew, watermelon, red apple, berries, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, cracker, white bread dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an incredible IPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/clean/refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish; awesomely soft feel, and not aggressive. Amazing Chinook, Simcoe, Columbus, Cascade, El Dorado profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great balancing clean pale malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on west coast style example; without being overly bitter/resinous.

Orange, grapefruit biscuit malt and pine aroma. Golden yellow with moderate white head. Moderately sweet citrus, biscuit malt and moderately bitter earthy grapefruit peel flavor. Good body and balance. Very nice.
