Pint can. Grapefruit citrus aroma with notes of caramel, orange, tangerine, mango and pine resiny hops. Pours clear golden-copper colored with a finger of tan head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with juicy orange, tangerine and caramel flavors. Finishes dry with mango, grapefruit and pine resiny hop flavors. Good stuff.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: bright orange to copper color with a one and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to a fine lace.
Aroma: citrusy hops up front, light floral hops slightly underneath then a nice clean malt bill
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet blend then has a nice piney bittersweet finish
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, good smoothness on the tongue, light hop abrasiveness further in the back
Overall: nicely done West coast styled DIPA I would return to.

From Good Times Oakland, canned October 23rd 2025.
It pours almost pitch black with a finger of tan foam, lacing and retention are very good.
The smell is roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, some toffee, some vanilla.
The taste is roasted malt number 1, sweet and dark chocolate number 2, coffee number 3. Bitter over sweet by a margin. Vanilla seems to not be there to my palate.
Medium bodied(high end), good carbonation, I would drink this again.

On tap at Pizza Port - Carlsbad, pours a deep dark mahogany brown with a small beige head. Aroma has gently smoked malts, some nice agave sugars, and bread crusts. Flavour is dry, with plenty of smoke, some attenuated out agave, and toasted bready caramel. Pretty smooth and light-bodied, but has some nice smokiness and good malt structure. Solid.
