Gigantic is making the switch from glass to aluminum this year and to commemorate the change they brought in Wayfinder for a collaboration. The resulting beer is Life or Death IPA, a symphony of hoppy verses and malty refrains creating a juxtaposition of bitter and sweet. The combination of Cascade, Citra, and Strata cones plus Co2 Hop Extract at the heart of this new-school West Coast IPA gives it a thrilling balance of juice and hoppiness. Nuances of tropical mango, OJ, and piney resin pulse through the swig all the way to a clean, dry finish.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Hazy, honey gold pour. Large, pillowy white head. Great lacing. Fragrant tropical fruit aroma hints at mango and melon. Flavor leans toward juicy citrus and resiny pine. There is an obvious West Coast IPA vibe here, but it is tempered by an innate juiciness and dry finish.

Can from Tavour. Pours translucent gold with a large white head. Aroma has a lot of grapefruit. Med body and very smooth texture. It's juicy with a little sweetness, but a whole lot of grapefruit bitter. Some pine and floral, but not resin, are in the mix. A light touch of grapefruit pith. Good flavor.
