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!

Can from Sprouts Mkt in Woodland, CA. Pours translucent gold with a very large frothy white head. Aroma of tropicals and peach. Med body. Juicy, not dry dry. At least moderately bitter. Flavor is mixed tropicals to include melon, passion fruit and citrus with some pale stone suggesting peach. Very mild astringency in the finish. Good flavor IMHO.

Dark gold with a large foamy head that lingered and left good lacing. Lightly bitter, tangy and somewhat sweet with citrus and tropical fruit. Long finish. Moderately full bodied

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a mostly clear gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Aromas of pear, peach, lychee and starfruit on the nose. Crisp and clean on the palate. Dry with a dank note alongside more tropical fruit. Drying finish with pith and tropical fruit skin.

A 12 oz can located at a Total Wine in the northwest part of Austin. Stamp on the bottom indicates a born-on date of 11/22/23. I'll be using a snifter for this sampling, the tab is flipped and I make the pour. The body is an semi-hazy amber-gold topped by a fairly steady head of fully white foam, some lacing potential noted. The scent leans NE style with tropical notes along with a bit of of hoppiness. And the taste maintains that. Mango, malt, some pine, cardboard, citrus and honeydew. Not so great starting out, the further along I go, it gets some better.

Muted tea and orange nose. Crystal clear amber, medium head, decent lace. Orange blossom, hints of bubble gum. Medium body, easy carbonation. I thought it was boring at first, but it really isn't so bad. Decent balance actually, just not very exciting.

12oz can. Booming bright hop tones, a lot of depth there. A little sweet, sugary, but overall a pretty enjoyable beer. OK.
