Poured from a 16 oz can dated August 23, 2022. Aroma is fairly hop forward with mango, passion fruit, pineapple and tropical citrus notes. Light dank, oily resin notes. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a fairly clear, light, golden color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Fairly strong bitterness with light alcohol notes. Fairly strong hop notes with mango, passion fruit, tropical citrus and hints of pineapple and grapefruit. Light dank, oily resin notes in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA. A distinct West Coast character with some malt notes and a fairly assertive bitterness. But the hop aromas and flavors are fairly fruity upfront.
