16 oz can. Dated 10/19/21. Aroma is nothing but pine, caramel and a lot of herbal hops. The flavor reminds me of an IPA brewed in 2005. All West Coast through and through. Bold caramel malt and long lasting pine. I don’t drink West Coast IPA’s anymore. The strong pine / caramel combo is just too much for me.

Canned 10/19/21, drunk 11/3/21. Moderately hazy, dark-bronze. White head sits around cover. Pine and juice sit comfortably up front with mango and orange behind. Cracker/biscuit malts seem well-attenuated. In the mouth it's soft, malty, well-attenuated, but quickly bitter and with some sharp, pine/resin characteristics. Not nearly enough soft, juicy, fruity, tropical character here. Feels like a pretty brutal West Coast IIPA in disguise. It's not bad, but it's definitely not my thing. Extremely dry caramel, tons of resin, pine spice, orange marmalade. The soft, succulent malt and juicy hop charge just never comes. But otherwise this is fantastic and very well-brewed. Wish they'd say a little about their beers so that you knew what you were buying as I would not have bought this had I known.
