Super dry and crisp with minimal malt and high minerality, and a laser focus on the hop aroma, flavor and bitterness. We desire a hoppy ale that has enticingly pungent aromas that remind us of tropical fruit and freshly cured ganja as well as a flavor that coats the tongue with alluring hop oils that triggers a dopamine response. Hops: Strata, Talus, Simcoe and Motueka

Can from Tavour. Pours slightly translucent gold with a huge foamy white head that laced down. Aroma leads with weed and then lots of tropicality. Med body. Bone dry, spicy, bitter, weedy and earth and a bunch of tropicals I can't parse. Dopeness it is. Great flavor.

0.473l can from Beer Republic. Aroma of mango, passion fruit, citrus, melon and resin. Pours clear golden color with medium sized soapy off-white head, fair lacing and sparkling appearance. Taste starts refreshing citrusy and juicy overripe tropical fruity, following is herbal, dank and medicinal, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is dry and bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and lively carbonation in palate. Nice and drug free…

Can. Pours a clear orange hue with a medium white head. Sweet, juicy nose. Ripe tropical fruit, toast, vanilla, sweet tropical notes like passionfruit, mango. Not citrus forward. Really tastes like a hazy, not a W Coast.

16 oz can pouted, picked up at Special Brews. Mildly cloudy, light golden appearance. Fading head. Dank grassy hop nose, some onion and a little melon. Flavor is cool, refreshing, and almost juicy. Melon front, with some mango like notes. Lingering bold bitterness, citrus rind. Really tasty.

Draft. Pours clear light gold with small white head and moderate lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit and papaya. Flavor is orange peel and biscuit. Solid malt makes this taste like a pale ale. Moderate high bitterness.

Poured from an undated 16 oz can. Aroma is hop forward and fruity with big citrus notes of orange, mandarin, tangerine and grapefruit. Lighter notes of tropical fruit, pine and dank resin notes. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a fairly clear, pale, yellow gold with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Medium light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness and faint alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes with orange, tangerine, grapefruit and lighter tropical fruit notes. Light pine, dank resin notes as well. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied and crisp with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid West Coast IPA. It's much crisper and lighter bodied than a traditional one, but with a similar citrus hop profile. Much less bitter and lacking that resin note that can linger.
