On a flight of four in the Whole Foods bar in Laguna Niguel on 4th September 2025. Another fine collab by Madewest, this is bright as a button, crystal clear golden body, white crown on top. Lovely blend of tropical fruits and piney notes, sweet in places and bittering in others, just a decent IPA all round.

US Pint can from a Trader Joe's, poured into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass at my daughters place in Laguna Hills on 3rd September 2025. Light golden body, bright, clean and clear, good billowing white head. Hop centric with a citrus and piney feel, dank, earthy and exotic fruit flavours battle for supremacy, decent.

US Pint can from a Trader Joe's. Poured into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass at my daughters on 30th July 2025. Hazy golden body, white crown. Peachy, tropical leaning in the aroma and taste, slight sweetness leading the way. One of the better Hazy IPA's I've come across.

US Pint can from Trader Joe's, drank on 22nd April 2025 in Laguna Hills. Golden body, almost clear, on top a white crown. Tropical/citrus fruits in both the aroma and taste, piney notes came through as it warmed a little in the old Corsendonk glass it sat in. Nice, easy going West Coast IPA.
