Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: copper color with a slight transparency about it - more or less closer to the sides of the glass with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: oranges, melons, light grapefruit, slight pine; light bready malts
Flavor: intertwines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes mostly with the oranges, melons and a little bit of grapefruit
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of brisk hop assertiveness - just noticeable, that's all
Overall: is this truly a West coast styled one or another one of those IPA's that seems like a cross between the two coasts? Either way, no worries, I'm sure to have this one again.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white soapy head with medium retention craters and recedes leaving spotty lacing. Juicy fruit and melon aromas. Medium bodied with sweet mango and earthy tropical fruit skin upfront turning to bitter apple and tangerine pith and peel in the dry, lasting finish. I was hoping for something a little more West Coast - tastes pretty much like a standard NEIPA - but tasty nonetheless...
