In the can the aromas are fresh citrus hops and a little bit of pale malt, but in the glass it changes to oxidized tops and caramel malt. Flavors are like nose, slightly more sweet than bitter with a somewhat soft texture and finish leaning bitter. Okay beer.

Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with lightly aggressive grassy hop bitterness. Ok old skool leaning DIPA.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Fergus. Light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Grainy malts, too grainy. Piney hops. Fairly good orange and tangerine citric hops. Smooth pine. Touch of peel and a whisper of spice. Light finish. Good hops badly let down by a poor malt base.

355ml can. Pours a clear orange-gold with a medium, frothy, long lasting, white head that laces. Semi-sweet aroma of biscuit malt, orange, grapefruit rind, mango, pine and floral hops. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, orange, tangerine, mango, papaya, pineapple and light alcohol in a dry, bitter, pine resin finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Enjoyable, almost dank.

12 oz. can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out pine hops upfront, with some sticky resins, and biscuity malt. Flavour is piney and resinous, with semi-sweet, sticky resinous hops, piney notes, and biscuity malt. Piney, lightly sweet, with lots of body. Now this is a great west coast IIPA, the kind that I miss with all the hazies dominating the market now. Excellent.
