Cloudy gold, massive white head. Juicy nose. Palate is more dry, almost dank (citrus zest). Vague bitterness in finish. One dimensional & unpleasant

Cloudy amber, huge white head. Piney fruity nose, fruit more prominent in palate with piney notes. Long bitter finish. More of a West Coast IPA than a hazy

On tap at Patina, pours a cloudy dark purpleish red with a small pink-tinged head. Aroma has very soft blueberry notes and gentle wheaty notes underneath. Flavour reveals a very earthy, pithy blueberry character upfront, sitting atop a dry wheaty base. Sugars are all attenuated out, but the earthy blueberry remains. Nothing wrong here but not at all interesting.

On tap at Patina, pours a cloudy pinkish orange with a small white head. Aroma is very faint, with subtle floral notes from the hibiscus and a touch of lemon. Flavour is lightly tart, with floral hibiscus notes upfront and dominating, followed by citrus, and some gentl yogurty notes underneath. Finishes dry and citric. Not bad for an adjunct kettle sour.

On tap at Patina, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma has lightly citrusy hops, crackery malt, and some straw. Flavour is cleaner than the usual Italian pils, with bright citrusy bitterness, crisp crackery malt, and a little straw. Nicely hopped and vibrant, finishing quite bitter. Honestly one of the better examples of the style. Good.

On tap at Patina, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has grassy hops, straw, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour likewise has a grassy hop character, a touch of pine, some minerality, and crisp crackery malt. Nice grassiness to the hops, and a clean body. Good stuff.

On tap at Main Street — isn't this old by now? — pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out old citrusy hops, some earthiness and cardboard. Flavour reveals tired earthy hops, some cardboard, light pine, and bready malt. Must be at least 3 months old now given when VCBW was—why would Main Street serve this? Not great.

Deep amber with a slight haze. Not sure if this is really the same recipe as the earlier batches everybody else sampled. Piney, orangey hop nose, biscuity malts, strong alcohol signature. All goes well together - classic WC IPA, slotting in between Seattle and San Diego, so I'�m wondering if even the label on the can is correct because the 7% abv part is the only part that fits.
