Can. Pours hazy orange and snow globed. Orange, mango, lemon, a very light bitterness. Pretty good body. As a West Coast IPA this for sure misses the mark. As a beer, pretty tasty.

Can purchased at Pita Kabob in Visalia. Clear gold. Overt aroma of citrus, soft malt and faint lemon. Flavor follows taste for a very nice beer.

Pours hazy gold with a lingering off white head with lacing. The aroma is hop heavy with resin and citrus. The flavor is big on resinous hops and has a solid malty body. Really good. It seems like more than 30 ibus to me. Hop resin lingers in the long finish.

16 oz can received as a birthday gift from my wife. Best by 12/14/21. The pour is a slightly hazed orange copper with a one inch off white head. Falls with nice splotchy lace. The aroma is tangerine orange citrus, some sweet malt. The taste is soft bitter tangerine fruit and skin, sweet caramel malt, pine, and some general dirtiness to the finish. The palate is medium bodied, soft carbonation, slick finish with some alcohol heat showing as the beer warms.

Good IPA. (Call me stubborn, but I have trouble calling a 7.3% beer a double anything.) Plenty of grapefruit, guava, berry, and pine, with a mild grainy sweetness underneath and a bitter, citrus zest finish. Floral notes and yeast pop up in the fade. Tasty.

Tall can. Hazy gold with floaty bits under a thin white head. Tropical fruit aroma of mango, pineapple, citrus. The flavor is fruity, sweet with a bitter balance. Enjoyable.
