Bi-Coastal IPA
What fresh freak of nature is this?! Hazy flavors without the haze? West Coast hopping without mega bitterness? Quite the contrary kaiju towering before you. Double dry-hopped with a fruity blast of Citra & Mosaic, yet finishes super smooth. This beast is truly the best of both worlds…Release the hound!

Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a mildly hazy copper gold body that supports an off white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up orange, tangelo, a touch of lime and then some pineapple. The taste delivers smooth semi bitter orange citrus to grapefruit rind hop bitterness. To midway it softens up with increasing mango to pineapple sweet juiciness. Nice. Plenty of balanced goodness.

Pours mostly clear gold. It smells hoppy with tropical fruit. The flavor is of tropical fruit, caramel malt, and piney hops. Moderate bitterness. Very good.

Tap at Uncorked in SFO. Pours a slight hazy orange-yellow with white head. Aroma and flavor are citrus. Flavor has moderate retained sugars to give a sweet/syrupy aspect. Alcohol heat is present.

Can, from Whole Foods, Manhattan. Pours clear golden with a small frothy off-white head, mango-citrus peel aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter citrus peel taste with faint mango, little bit piney, thin body, long citrus peel finish. Interesting brew, though less of West Coast.

Lime and pineapple. Flavours come off a bit odd but could just be taps at Yardhouse. Slightly hazy golden pour without much head but decent lacing. Bitter end. Tap at Yardhouse.
