2$ can from vintage estates. Pour is cloudy pale with a big white bubbly head. Nose something like green pine cones. First taste is bitter fresh mild fruit. Green grapefruit rinds and snubber clubber rubber. Somewhat intense and scintillating. Not viscous like many other heavy IPA. In the middle, turning out like many other rude ass IPA; tastefully vulgar, crude, gaudy, tacky, unrefined, inappropriate, indecorous and unseemly. Just how I feel about most terribly on style IPA. Finish is not as punishing as most IPA. There, you have it.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Fairly thin bodied pale malts, it kinda works here though, lets the Strata hops come through. Light cooling pine, bright zingy hop fruits and a decent nip of hop spice. Passion fruit? Yes for a change! Along with some bright mandarinish thing going on, like mandarin but not mandarin. Light juicy hop finish finds the ubiquitous cooling pine most pronounced. Probably the best Strata single hop beer I have had.

Pours a slightly hazy pale golden color with a medium thick frothy white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Short strings of lace. Grassy hops, citrus and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of lemony hops, pine and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Above average overall.
