Can (6/9/21) pour from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. It's a clear, golden yellow with nice, lazy sparkle, 1/2-finger width white foamy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong dank herbs, mix of sweet and tart citrus, pilsner cracker malt in background. Taste is mix of dank herb, white grape, sweet/tart citrus and lightly bitter crackery pilsner malts. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and crisp, dry finish as taste. Overall, not the classic West Coast DIPA bitter bomb--nice mix of flavors and dominant dank experience. Nice flavor from Simcoe, Idaho 7, Ekuanot and Flex Extracts.
