Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 6, 2019. Aroma is hop forward with lots of tropical fruit and citrus notes. Mango, pineapple, orange, grapefruit and guava with light resin, pine and dank notes. Light cracker malt notes and a touch of alcohol. Pours a clear, brilliant gold color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to the edges where it lingers. Moderately high lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light cracker malt notes and hints of caramel and biscuit. High bitterness and light alcohol spice. Moderate grapefruit and mango notes with lighter orange, guava, pineapple notes. Light dank, pine and resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a tasty IPA but not my favorite. This leans solidly into West Coast territory with a fairly assertive bitterness and a bit more malt character. Alcohol is fairly well hidden.
