Poured from a 16 oz can dated October 26, 2023. Aroma is fairly hop forward with a lot of passion fruit, guava, tropical citrus, grapefruit and dank, resin notes. Light cracker malt and light alcohol notes. Pours a slightly hazy, dull, golden-yellow with a large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Medium lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly strong hop notes of passion fruit, guava and tropical citrus. Moderately strong dank, resin notes that linger into the finish with a bit of a hop bite. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid West Coast DIPA. Fairly strong tropical fruit hop notes with a bunch of dank, resin notes that linger into the finish with a bit of a bite.
