Can at BBT 12/2023. Med-thin body, sugary candyish. Med-high carbonation. Pretty classic IPA, a bit caramelly oxidated, medium sweetness, but otherwise med-high bitterness, general fruity hoppiness, moderate citrusy zesty hops character. Good but not great.

19.2 ounce can, best by September 17th 2017.
A new IPA and it isn't a hazy or NEIPA. I had no hesitation buying the can.
It pours a clear 24k gold with an inch or slightly more head of foam, good sticky lacing.
Aromas of grapefruit and tropical fruits tickle my nose buds. I get a reasonable amount of dankness along with some toasted malt.
Not too bitter of an IPA. Starts out with grapefruit and tropical fruit, the latter adds some kind of sweet notes, toasted malt, some grass, light dankness. The finish is pretty dry.
Good mouthfeel, good drinkability, a very nice West coast IPA. A bit expensive...
