12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 10/25/2018. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep golden/amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, onion, weed, peppercorn, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey/caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, onion, weed, peppercorn, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey/caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, onion, weed, peppercorn, pine, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey/caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an awesome IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. All lupulin powder, and feels like tons of Columbus/Simcoe. Insanely dank, vibrant, and earthy hop complexity; with a great balancing bready malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive west coast style example.

Pour is a hazy copper with a large white head. Aroma is pine hops with some honeysuckle malt. Flavor is more pine and some caramel malt with bitterness toward the back end. Very west coast and bitter. Not a huge hop flavor here just a pine bitterness with a chewy malt back bone.

12oz can pours with a crystal clear deep gold body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy dank onion infused grapefruit and then more inviting onion spiciness toward the end of the draw. The taste delivers a pleasing load of spicy bitter onion dankness surrounded by a thin layer of clementine juice and bitter grapefruit like hoppiness. As it warmed a bit more floral hop notes started to emerge. It's fully bitter hop forward but with plenty of depth and thickness of hoppy flavor to keep it interesting. Solid IPA.

Can. Light amber body with a frothy, off-white head. Aroma of pine, orange, toasted grain, onion, light chemical. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery, sticky texture, lively carbonation. Things are not working together in this beer. Bitter pine and lightly sour taste. Your IPA, not mine.
