Very clear golden and peach coloured body with a light soapy head, about two to three centimetres tall that leaves a pretty ugly lace on the sides. Aroma of citrus, dank grassy and herbal hops with a lot of flowers and alpha acids along with a light malty quality with some deep alcohol and bitter bite at the end. Medium-bodied; Strong dank and resinous hops dominate with a lot of grassiness, herbal qualities and some flowers that show a ton of alpha acids with a good deal of malt backbone and a touch of dry peppers at the end, but the alcohol is noticeable, as are the dry grassy qualities. Aftertaste is dry with a lot of herbal notes, some grassy qualities and basically a dank, resinous hop bite that shows throughout this sample. Overall, a very nice deep pure West Coast IPA despite not truly being on the West Coast - great to sample and even better when it's fresh! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Super One Foods in Kalispell, Montana on 26-July-2020 for US$1,67 sampled in my hotel room on the last day of my vacation here in Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah on 04-August-2020.
