Can on 19th December 2025 from the BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Pours a delicate hazy amber with diminishing, dullish foam and minimal lacing. Earthy pungent aroma. Zesty peel in-mouth with grasses and a solid malt. A bitter grass note dominates the finish. Remarkably smooth mouthfeel for a canned ale, and a fair amount of body. Beautifully crafted.

Pours clear blonde, pillowy white head. Scent is mild, pine. Touch of hidden cara malts. Taste is medium intense. Pine. Fairly bitter. Mild cara malts. Balanced, very enjoyable and styletypical WCIPA, not a particular highlight of sorts, nothing extreme or outstanding. Just nice, well brewed, and understanding of the style.

On tap at Beer Temple. Slightly hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Fruity aroma with citrus fruits and tropical impressions. Lovely old school West Coast action.
