Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 01, 2024. Aroma is moderately hop forward with notes of grapefruit, passion fruit and dank, resiny pine. Medium light cracker malt and light alcohol notes. Pours a somewhat clear, yellow-gold with a large, moderately thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Medium light lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Medium high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong notes of passion fruit and grapefruit. Lighter notes of orange and dank, resin, pine notes. Mouthfeel.is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really solid West Coast IPA. Nice hoppy notes in the aroma and especially in the flavor. Alcohol is well hidden. Assertively bitter, but not so much that it hides the fruity hop notes.
