Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 15, 2022. Aroma is super dank and oily with lots of grapefruit, pine resin, tropical citrus and hints of stone fruit. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a fairly clear, brilliant, golden-orange color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Moderately high lacing and medium small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Fairly strong bitterness with light alcohol notes. Fairly strong oily, dank hop notes. Quite a bit of grapefruit pith, pine resin and lighter notes of tropical citrus with hints of stone fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really solid West Coast DIPA. Super dank and oily with a classic West Coast bite. Balanced malt profile and a ton of bitterness to hide the alcohol.

Not your 2016 Danktoberfest. Can. Pours clear orange, large creamy off white head, good lacing. Aroma is resinous, pine, hop resins, pot buds. Flavor is light plus sweet, medium bitter. Medium body, silky mouthfeel. Enjoyable.
