Poured from a 16 oz can dated January 24, 2025.
Aroma is hop forward with lots of dank, oily, pine and resinous notes. Lighter grapefruit, tropical citrus, tangerine and passion fruit notes. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a slightly hazy, golden color with a medium large, moderately thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Light lacing and small legs.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly strong hop notes of dank oily, pine resin. Lighter passion fruit, tropical citrus and grapefruit notes.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid West Coast IPA. Lots of hop character in the aroma and flavor. Lots of dank, oily, resin notes with lighter fruit and citrus notes alcohol and bitterness is well balanced.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours gold with a large white head. Aroma of fruit and dank/resin - not pine. Med plus body - lots of carbonation. It's dry and smoothly bitter. Flavor is earth/dank/resin with some tangerine and passion fruit - not thinking pineapple. Very nice flavor.
