Aroma is fairly hop forward with notes of passion fruit, tangerine, gooseberry, tropical citrus, and lighter dank, oily resin notes. Light cracker malt and light alcohol notes.
Pours a hazy, dull, golden straw color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Fairly high lacing and small legs.
Flavor is fairly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly strong grapefruit pith, tangerine, tropical citrus. Lighter passion fruit and gooseberry. Light dank, piney resin notes that linger into the finish.
Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid hazy IPA with a bit of a West Coast IPA hop character. Balanced malt notes and alcohol. Fairly bitter for a hazy IPA but I like it for its ability to counter the sweet malt notes.

You get a fruit forward aroma with the dank, piney West Coast flavor. Fairly light malt profile for such an assertive bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden.
