It’s a modern West Coast IPA made with some of our favorite hops, along with hop oils and concentrated hop pellets, and double dry hopped to let those lil baddies shine through like crazy. You’re gonna love it to death! This year’s batch leans super dry, and hits with big welcoming range of lovely hop aromatics that are saturated from sniff to snip. Think big zesty citrus and white gummy bears, with a linger of the devil’s lettuce.

Pours a lightly hazy, very pale golden yellow, with minimal head. Aroma is hops, pine, citrus. Flavors follow. Very clean, crisp mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A very mild haze on this dirty gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, but sweet enough. Super duper hops, crisp pine and light juicy but intense orange and citrus hops. Mild peel, mild bright hops, a little hop spice, touch of blood orange. Light and semi dry finish brings mild hop spice. Really liked the orangey hop fruits in this one.

Can thanks to my bro. It pours with a hint of haze, amber - blonde with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, bright citrus vibes, grapefruit, blood orange, pomelo, touch green, sappy and piney. The taste is crisp, dry, pleasing level of bitterness, green, pine needles, piney, sappy, resinous, grapefruit, blood orange, clean malt base and just a hint of alcohol presence with a short, dryish finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Nice west coaster. Very drinkable stuff.

Taste comprises orange pith, grass, melon, clean malts, hop spice, pineapple. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close spliced with juicy to moderately resinous hop bitterness. Decent West Coast affair.
