US Pint can; canned on 19th November 2021, drank at my daughters place in Laguna Hills on 22nd December 2021. Cloudy body, yellow in colour, smooth white blanket of foam on top. Citrus fruits in the nose and taste, with the Citra Cryo, Nelson, and Strata hops doing their thing. The tropical fruitiness leaned towards sweetness rather than a cheek sucking bitterness or tartness, nice!

Can. Pours a hazy yellow with a slight orange hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of sweet citrus and light mango with some papaya and sweet grain backing. Flavor has a bit more bitter citrus but is mainly sweet grains, mango and sweet citrus note.

Can (12/11/19) pour from Valley Beverage Company. Appearance is lightly hazy light brown--golden yellow with nice sparkle, finger-width white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is citrus, stone fruit and pine. Taste is dominant piney bitterness with fruit and citrus. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste with pleasant lingering mild bitterness. Overall, a nice West Coast IPA with nice pine flavor and bitterness without going overboard.

The aroma is soft funky semi vegetal hops, has okay yellow body with mellow foam. Flavour is good oily hops with some pine. Great oiliness on the mouth. An excellent pale ale.

Tasting at Erik's, can
Blond colour, clean. Nice and delicate grape aroma. The mouthfeel is off-dry, lean, crisp, although with lowish malt or hop quality, a bit of orange peel.
Thirst quenching.

Can. Golden, with a floral hop note, and a touch of biscuity malt. This has a fruity hop character, nice passionfruit/pineapple sort of thing, again with biscuity malts. Good balance.
