Fucking Send It! Playing on the iconic West Coast IPA style to create a beer that'll make you feel like your back in the 90s listening to Sublime in a Cali suburb. This 6.7% IPA is crisp & clean with a pineapple center to start, but then a spicy resinous bitter bite and a hint of malt finishes out the back of the beer.
Once you take a sip you'll know why our Hop Monster is freaking out after having just a taste.

A little pine but mostly just a malt aroma. Some lemon in the mouth. Not super complex. Pours clear golden with decent head. Light bitter end. Can.
