From tap at Lost Coast Brewery, Eureka. Aroma is piney hops with notes of ripe-ish fruits and a firm pale malt base. Biscuity with some caramel. Flavour is sweetish and medium bitter with a medium body. Solid enjoyable Equinox IPA.

Bomber from Craft Beer Kings, but the label no longer says Spring. ABV, IBU and label words same as the Spring version. Pours gold with a white head. Lots of tropical fruit and arguably some floral in the nose. Not dank, but making me think of dank. Med body. Flavor is something like pale ale or Vienna malt (if memory is any good) which shows as support for lots of tropical fruit and I still think floral hop. So it’s pretty dry, nicely, pleasantly bitter, but the malt shows. So a hop bomb it’s not, but it really tastes good and drinks delightfully.

Lost Coast Brew Labs: Spring Equinox IPA 7% and 65 IBUs Served in my IPA glass it's a beautiful gold with a big fluffy head of foam from which rises a juicy hop bouquet featuring grapes, a hint of pine and juicy citrus/tropical fruits. Medium to full bodied with a bit of slickness to the finish and a raspy bitterness. The taste is pretty bitter but balanced with fruit & pine having reached a harmonious and flavorful agreement. A solid beer and it's available in Japan from Ezo beer at a very reasonable 1000¥ or so. Do seek it out if you're looking for US brews at a good price in Japan. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

22 oz. bottle. It pours a rich orange/gold color with an off white head. The aroma is pretty fresh and potent with candied grapefruit, pineapple, peach, blueberry. Lots of sweet, ripe fruit with hints of dank and florals. Maybe some toasted malt in the background. The flavor is pretty much the same with lots of blueberry, pineapple, mango and a little more flowery character. Solid toasted and lightly caramel malts. Pretty dense mouthfeel before a piney, dank and floral bitter finish. Overall, I enjoyed the hop character on this one. A tad too malty, but that can be easily forgiven. I’d buy this again.
