Bottle from Corti Bros. Pours translucent medium ruddy with a white head that fizzed away rapidly. Aroma is sour, funky dark berry. Med body or so. Flavor is funky, fairly sour, and is arguably blackberry. Pretty dry. Mildly bitter as well as sour. Not a beginner's sour, but it's not devastating. Good flavor.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated November 7, 2019. Aroma is rather hop forward with lots of grapefruit, orange, berry and dank resin notes. Light cracker malt notes with a hint of caramel and faint alcohol notes. Pours a somewhat clear, golden orange with a medium large, thick, frothy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers on the edges. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with a slightly dry finish and moderate cracker malt notes with a touch of caramel. Fairly high bitterness and a touch of alcohol spice. Moderately strong hop notes of grapefruit, orange, pine, resin, berry and dank notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice West Coast IPA. Solid hop notes with a good amount of malt character. Bitter, but not overly aggressive.

Tap at CapTap. Pours coppery gold with a white head. Aroma is hoppy - but earth/herbal - followed by mixed citrus. Med body. Flavor pops up something like gooseberry - then the earthy, citrus, green stuff. Quite dry. Hoppy. Bitter for sure. A little different than a typical DIPA, but decent flavor.
