Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 23, 2025.
Aroma is fairly hop forward with nice nots of grapefruit, tropical citrus, lemon-lime and tropical fruit. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a slightly hazy, pale yellow straw color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Medium light lacing and faint legs.
Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate hop notes of grapefruit, lemon lime, and tropical citrus. Light tropical fruit notes.
Mouthfeel is medium light bodied and a bit crisp with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a decent West Coast IPA. The malt profile is very light (which I like) and the bitterness is pretty high but not over the top and the bite doesn't linger. Fairly citrus forward hop profile.
