Can shared by Matt--thanks! Hazy gold with tons of sparkle, a few dark floaties, robust head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is citrus, pineapple, pine, white bread. Taste is strong pine over citrus, late hint of pineapple rind, bread. Frothy texture, soft carbonation, mostly piney bitter finish. Flavorful, not super bitter, West Coast IPA.

Undated can, fresh, drunk 5/15/24.
Not crystal clear, but mostly. Bronze-brass with deep hay tones. Large, frothy, well-retained, white head.
Very fragrant. Not sure if it's all compelling, but the lime, orange, spice and light mineral is. There's some more pineapple and borderline punchy melon character alongside light sourdough that I don't find works well. But it's clean, polished, with good, white bread-like malt to balance and no alcohol or resin.
Juicy citrus in the flavor. Quite straightforward, with a bit of Christmas spice and excellent malt depth and attenuation. Clean and polished. This brewer makes excellent beers and even the much maligned WC IPA is done well under their guidance. No toast, no caramel, no resin, no intense pine. Just excellent base malt and balanced hops. Still hate Krush and I don't think the almost tart berry component it produces does much for the beer, but everything else going on here is excellent.

16 oz can. Aroma is orange and perhaps mild orange marmalade. A little bit of floral hints. Flavor follows. Very soft traces of pine. But it’s mostly floral. That works so much better personally than pine for me. Mild bitterness that isn’t aggressive. Easy to drink and approachable for a West Coast.
