Pure hop juice in a glass (or can)! Plain and simple. We combine a unique blend of hops and an expressive yeast strain to create flavors of peach rings, mango, guava and pulpy, fresh-squeezed orange. Low bitterness and a chewy, full-flavored mouthfeel conveys maximum juiciness, while maintaining balance and drinkability.

Can to glass. Massive guava and passion fruit on both aroma and flavor. A bit astringent. Good, although the flavor has more terpine or cryo flavor that is a bit fake tasting.

Light cloudy golden color. Not that turbid. The nose is really sticky sweet and full of fruit, Vitamin C, guava, pineapples, mangoes. The palate is much drier, low medium carbonation. Juicy as hell, but not that tart. Really fun and enjoyable beer.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours hazy gold with a huge foamy white head. Aroma of melon, citrus and something else that seems pungent. Med body or better. Juicy, but not really sweet. Quite bitter. Melon, citrus, weed and perhaps mango. Pale malt support. Excellent flavor. --- Beer merged from original tick of Cold Pressed [Version 2] on 29 Jun 2018 at 00:05 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.5. Original review text: Can from La Riviera. Pours somewhat hazy gold with a nice white head. Aroma is very fruity. Med body or so. Flavor is tropically fruity - sort of melon with a pineapple note. Juicy. Has a very light dank touch. Juicily undry. Very nicely bitter. Exceptionally tasty.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 12, 2022. Aroma is hoppy and fruit forward with lots of orange, guava, mango and dank, resinous, oily hop notes. Light cracker malt notes with hints of alcohol. Pours a hazy, dark golden straw color with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Moderately high lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness with light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes with lots of orange, guava and dank, oily resin. Lighter notes of mango and stone fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall a pretty solid IPA. It's not super hazy and has a bit more malt character and body than a lot of the Alvarado St. hazies. Some lingering hop oil and bite in the finish gives a bit of a West Coast feel as well. --- Beer merged from original tick of Cold Pressed [Version 2] on 29 May 2020 at 04:57 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.
