From Good Times Oakland, canned November 7th.
It pours a clear pale gold with a small head of foam, very good retention and lacing.
The smell is big notes of pine, some tropical fruit that brings dankness, smells juicy with a backdrop of toasted malt.
The taste is lovely notes of pine that are very assertive. Followed by light tropical fruit that brings some dankness. The malt presence seems to be the toast that I mentioned in the smell.
Medium bodied with medium carbonation, this is a very good WCIPA, imho. I would drink this again.

From Good Times Oakland, canned October 17th. Stamped near the top of the can. Nice.
It pours a hazy orange with a finger of foam, very good retention and lacing.
The smell is kind of dank, has notes of pine and grapefruit, melon but thankfully, no onion.
The taste is pine, tropical fruit, some grapefruit, melon, all tasty, all working well. Bitterness level is good.
Juicy mouthfeel, I would drink this again.

Medium brown, some haze, and a thin head. Boozy nose, a touch headsy. Fruity, maybe even diacetyl. Unfortunately doesn't come together for me.

Dullish opaque. Medium head. Lowish bitterness but also a nice weedy hop. It's ok.

Opaque, medium head. Stone fruit, creamy body, touch of alcohol in the finish. Good example of hazy DIPA.

Sweet. Medium body. Ok malt character, not the big bready stuff but decent for USA-made marzen.
