Poured from an undated 16 oz can.
Aroma is hop forward and fruity with lots of tropical citrus, tangerines and grapefruit with some passion fruit, guava and stone fruit. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a very slightly hazy, yellow gold with a medium large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges.
Flavor is a bit sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Lots of tropical citrus, tangerine and grapefruit hoo notes. A bit less passion fruit and guava and hints of stone fruit.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid IPA. Nice fruity and citrus hop aromas and flavors. Malt profile is light, but carries the beer well. Alcohol and bitterness are well balanced.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours hazy gold with a moderate white head. Aroma of lychee, green guava and some citrus. Med body. Tropical and somewhat juicy, but not excessively sugary. There's enough bitter to more than balance. Flavor is the aroma with some spicy earthy notes and some white wine. Exceptional and different flavor.

Big pine, grapefruit. Pours clear golden with decent head. Super bitter end, big body. Nice West Coast DIPA. Piney wood end stays with you for a minute. Liked this more than their Unda da Sea, and that was pretty good. Can at Sonny's.

Sharp lemon with a hint of spritzer. Pours clear dark golden. Plenty of pine in the mouth. A hint of white pepper on the finish, which stays bitter for a minute. Not sure what this tangier adds, perhaps that spritzer sense. Can at Sonny's in DC.
