Draft at Ale Arsenal. Slightly dank and light tropical fruit. Pretty clear gold with small head that patterns well.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated January 31, 2025.
Aroma is hop forward and fairly fruity with passion fruit, gooseberry, tropical citrus and guava. Moderately strong dank, oily, fusel resin notes. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a clear, brilliant, yellow gold with a large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Fairly high lacing and small legs.
Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Fairly bitter and a bit assertive with light alcohol notes. Fairly hop forward with lots of dank, oily, fusel, resin notes and pine. Lighter passion fruit, gooseberry, tropical citrus and grapefruit pith. The dank, pine notes linger in the finish.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid West Coast IPA. I love the fruity nelson and mosaic notes in the aroma and how they were able to make the flavor more dank and resinous than fruity. You get a fruit forward aroma with the dank, piney West Coast flavor. Fairly light malt profile for such an assertive bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden.
