Poured from a 16 oz can dated February 15, 2024. Aroma is moderately hop forward with notes of grapefruit, orange, tropical citrus and dank, resin notes with pine character. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a rather clear, brilliant golden color with a medium sized, medium thick, white head that recedes steadily to the edges where it lingers in clumps. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. High bitterness and light alcohol notes. Nice grapefruit, orange and tropical citrus notes with some dank, resin and pine notes. Pine notes are more accentuated in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid San Diego Pale Ale / IPA. Very much a West Coast IPA by styles as a pale ale (whatever that means). Good hop notes in aroma and flavor.
