Poured from a 16 oz can dated January 17, 2024. Aroma is fairly hop forward with lots of tropical citrus, grapefruit and tangerine notes with lighter hints of guava and passion fruit. Light dank, oily resin notes. Faint alcohol notes. Light bready grain notes. Pours a slightly hazy, pale, yellow-gold color with a medium sized, moderately thick, frothy, white head that recedes quickly to a small, thin film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor has a medium sweetness with light bready grain notes. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes of grapefruit, tropical citrus and dank, piney resin which lingers in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer but I'm not sure the West Coast pilsner trend is doing it for me. The body is sweet and not nearly crisp and dry enough to make this super crushable. The hop aroma is great but the flavor is a bit too bitter and not particularly fruity.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours translucent gold with a large foamy white head that laced down. Aroma is very grapefruit. Med body. Juicy but dry. Flavor is grapefruit, even a hint of zest, with pale malt support. Delightfully bitter. Excellent flavor.
