Light amber color. Big citrusy, piney nose with clean pale malty backbone. First thing I think is quintessential West Coast IIPA. Big hoppy, lots of backbone, tangerines, pine. Such perfect balance, this is what IIPAs should be from So Cal. Big bitter finish with tangerines just lingering and lingering. Lovely.

Clear amber with a lasting off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty and rather hoppy - fruity. Flavor is quite sweet and rather bitter. Dry and rather bitter finish. 180114
