This West Coast IPA seriously rips from terpene rich hops. Simcoe, Mosaic Cryo, experimental HBC 586 and Centennial hops brings waves on waves of meyer lemon, mango flesh and pine wood forest aromas followed by the sturdy West Coast bitterness we all know and love – all in a reasonable 6.3% ABV package meant for heavy dosing. Don’t slip on the drip!

Deep golden color. White head. Big nectarine and mandarin notes. Clean butter palate solid backbone quick dry finish. The nectarine character lingers. Well made, as it warms it shows stone fruit and more depth. Great

Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 15, 2023. Aroma is moderately hop forward with notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, berry and tropical citrus with lighter dank, oily resin notes. Medium light cracker malt notes and light alcohol note. Pours a clear, brilliant, gold color with a medium sized, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to the edges where it lingers. Medium lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Moderately high bitterness and hints of alcohol. Flavor is fairly hop forward, more so than in the aroma, with lots of melon, passion fruit, berry, and tropical citrus notes. Lighter dank, oily resin notes and tropical citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice West Coast IPA. The hop aroma isn't super prevalent, but the hop flavor is bright and fruity with lingering dank, citrusy notes. Balance malt profile and alcohol notes.
