Can from Stefan: pours gold with white head. Aroma is grapefruit and general citrus. Piney notes. Taste is sweetish, tangy. Very juicy with a long and lingering aftertaste. Proper beer.

Pint can. Pours a clear yellow gold with a medium sized white head that has fair retention and lacing. The aroma is soft with cotton candy and grapefruit. Taste is pine resins, grapefruit, grass and something a bit funky. The palate is full and viscous with lively carbonation. Finishes long and bitter with lingering resins. Overall: Decent--A good take on the west coast style IPA./ Paired well with pretzels. --- Beer merged from original tick of (collab with) Crooked Stave Desert Dragon on 09 Jan 2025 at 22:37 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 16.
