Poured from a 510 ml bottle dated June 20, 2024. Aroma is hop forward and fruity with big citrus notes and lighter notes of stone fruit and dank, oily, resin and pine. Grapefruit, tangerine and hints of lemon and lime. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a rather clear, brilliant, yellow-gold with a slightly green hue and a large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. High lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong notes of grapefruit, grapefruit pith, tangerine, and dank, oily, pine resin notes. Lighter lime, and stone fruit notes. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied and a bit creamy with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA. I'm not a huge fan of dank, oily citra by itself but it does work well in a West Coast IPA. The creaminess of the beer is a bit unexpected, but it also works well in this IPA. Alcohol and bitterness are well balanced.
