Canned 4/21 drunk 7/6/25.
Rusty copper orange. Hint of haze. Large, yellowish head steadily recedes to partial cover.
There's a backbone of orange-laced caramel and vanilla but a super christmasy, Chinook-like spiciness abounds. Big, fruity, spicy black pepper and fruity pine with no resin or toast, thank god.
In the mouth it's soft, supple, fruity, spicey and yes, piney, but in the best way. There's little/no resin here and what there is, is easily balanced by the soft, supple malts that contain big white bread and very light caramel-vanilla flavors. Almost a creme brulee-like character. I guess when Pulpy family meets PNW hops, good things happen, because this is a WC IPA I can wholly get behind.

Sample at the roost, translucent gold with some soapy white head. Nose is piney to a degree, grapefruit, light herbs and straw. Flavors follow. Straw and dried grass, grapefruit, orange pine. Medium bodied and pillowy. 6 4 6 4 13
