Can, unfortunately canned last April, purchased at Total Wine in Cupertino. I'm starting to see a pattern in the production dates of what I bought there just 2wks ago. Golden, quite clear, good head. Nose of caramel and citrusy indeterminate ripe fruits. Flavor is pretty decent for a modern WC IPA, with caramel balancing smooth bitterness and a bit of stale pineapple. I'm sure this would have been much better when fresh, but it's aged decently.

Can. Pours a clear dark golden hue with a medium white head. A light sweet citrus nose. Sweet citrus, bigger tropical notes, dank. Quite vibrant.

Can from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours clear brassy gold with a large creamy white head. Tropical aroma - citrus for sure. Med body. Foamy carbonation. Juicy, but fairly dry. At least moderately bitter. Flavor is lightly roastly pale malt supporting, citrus, green melon, passion fruit and more. Bitter but not old school bitter. Good ale / good flavor.
