0.473l can from Beer Republic. Aroma of peach, orange, herbs and resin. Pours cloudy golden color with medium sized soapy white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts refreshing citrusy and grainy, following is herbal, slightly medicinal, grassy and bready, mouthfeel is rather dry, while finish is heavy bitter. Medium body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Joy to the world…

Poured from a 16 oz can dated October 10, 2023. Aroma is hop forward with a lot of grapefruit, tropical citrus and tangerine. Lighter notes of gooseberry and passion fruit. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes. Pours a clear, yellow-gold color with a medium large, fairly thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers on the edges. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly strong hop notes of grapefruit and tropical citrus with lighter notes of berry, gooseberry and passion fruit. Hints of stone fruit and some lingering dank, resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid West Coast IPA. Fairly malty, but with a light cracker malt profile. A decent amount of sweetness balances the bitterness and accentuates the fruity, citrus hop notes.

Tap at Ale Arsenal. Pretty much everything out of this shop nails it....and this one certainly does. MASSIVE dank and fruit. Hazy yellow-gold with fluffy white head. A great beer.

On tap at Hog’s Apothecary. It pours a clear pale gold color with a small, creamy white head. The aroma is potent with sweaty stone and tropical fruit. Hints of hop spice, melon, peach and mango. Hints of creamy pale malts. The flavor is strong with dank and spicy bitterness. Background notes of melon, tropical and stone fruit. More creamy, pale malts. Good stuff.

Palate is medium light bodied, slight sticky resin, highish carbonation, frothy.
