Fairly clear golden and light, peach coloured body with a very frothy, tan or off-white head, about three centimetres tall. Aroma of grass, resin, pine, flowers, a good deal of malt and biscuits with some spices and a noticeable amount of alcohol. Medium-bodied; Rich malt and citrusey hop flavours show at first with a great balanced profile that adds some pine and floral aspects, with a deep dry and grassy character that finishes with a lightly astringent alcohol bite at the end. Aftertaste is very well-balanced while having a ton of flavour and complexity - mainly from the hops, but also adding some of the malt, residual sugars from fruit and a mellow alcohol that is noticeable, but not pungent. Overall, a great West Coast IPA (barely Imperial-ish from the West Coast Standards) that is well-balanced, full of flavour and relatively easy-to-drink. Well-recommended! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Krisp Market (BestDamnBeerShop) in San Diego, California on 31-January-2020 for US$5,49 sampled at home in Washington on 24-March-2020.
