A mouthwatering hop bomb dry-hopped with Strata, Galaxy, Simcoe, and Mosaic. Saturated with hop flavor and aroma, while keeping bitterness balanced and crisp, Present Tense brings waves of tropical punch, overripe mango, lemon-lime gummy, and whispers of dank resin. A simple grist of Pilsner malt and unmalted white wheat, lays a clean and fluffy canvas for this unapologetically lush hoppy beer. Soft, bright, and explosively aromatic, this is the kind of IPA that anyone can sink their teeth into.

Pint can. Mango aroma with notes of lemon, lime, tropical punch, grapefruit and some pine resiny hops. Pours hazy golden colored with a large, soapy white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with juicy mango, tropical punch and lemon citrus flavors. Finishes dry but still quite smooth with lime, grapefruit and pine resiny hop flavors. Pretty good.

From Good Times Oakland, no dating on the can.

Pours a cloudy yellow, finger of foam, good retention and lacing.

Smell is dank, piney, tropical fruit, juicy.

Taste is pine, orange peel, mango, really dank, juicy as heck. It does wear on my palate after a while.

Medium bodied, I would not bother to get this again.
