Poured from a 16 oz can dated June 07, 2021. Aroma is fairly hop forward with note of orange, grapefruit, tangerine, hints of tropical fruit and light pine notes. Light dank, resin notes and light cracker malt notes. Light alcohol. Pours a hazy, pale, golden straw color with a medium large, thick, creamy white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly strong bitterness with lingering, dank, onions, pine resin notes. Medium light notes of orange, grapefruit and hints of tropical fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent DIPA but it's a bit aggressively bitter for my preferences these days. Balanced malt notes and alcohol.

Juicy nose and front with a strong tight hop finish, real nice. Need to seek out more of these west coast hazies. Piney and juicy!

16oz can pours a translucent sunset orange with some lacey white head.  Nose had a lot of citrus and pine, some melon lurking, soap, herbs.  Flavor has orange and herbs and soap, some stone fruit.  The stone fruit actually replaces the malt in many ways.  Finishes bitter and a little fruity but mostly dry.  7 4 7 4 13
