Bottle drunk after not being able to find a crate with a bunch of wild beer in it. Well then it's West Coast beer! Mostly-clear amber, big head, tropical caramel nose, delicate aromas hitting those olfactories. The flavor is really nice, smooth and balanced, citrus peel finish. Way more delicious than I expected from a Maisel's to be honest. Keep it up!

330ml bottle. Almost clear, orange, golden colour with average to huge, thick, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Minimally floral, citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, biscuity, pale malty background, notes of lemon, some pineapple, a touch of white jelly bears. Taste is moderately bitter, floral and citrusy fruity hoppy, slightly biscuity, pale malty basis with low residual sweetness and a touch of salty cracker, hints of lemon, old lemon peel, a touch of orange peel and pineapple; lingering, hoppy finish. Slightly oily, watery texture, dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Crisp, refreshing, albeit not genuinely the world's most aromatic hops used here - pretty good.

330 ml bottle. Slightly unclear orange golden with a fluffy head. Papaya, mango, grapefruit zest, resin, caramel, stone fruit. Hoppy resinous bitterness, malty fruity sweetness. Full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated hoppy fruity bittersweet finish. Tasty classic West Coast IPA, incredibly well made for the value.

Bottle picked up from Fristo Getrankemarkt, Freising and consumed at home Thursday 29th June 2023 sat outside after another glorious sunshiney day. Pours hazy gold with a white head, it was interesting to compare this alongside Loz's Jaipur, this is a good beer, it is stronger than the Jaipur but still falls short, body is lacking compared to the Jaipur. Fruity with west coast vibes, perhaps could be a little more assertive but it is very decent.
