Can purchased at Murphys PourHouse. Nice and crisp wet hop. This is one of the nicer version - the style sure seems to have exploded this year!

From Good Times Oakland, canned September 15th 2025. Conveniently placed near the top of the can.
Pours a clear pale gold, lots of bubble action, nice head of foam with very good lacing and retention.
The smell sure is dank, lots of pine, some grapefruit citrus, light toasted malt that I am surprised that I could pull out.
The taste is pine, very dank, some grapefruit citrus, tropical, toasted malt. If you're a big fan of the dank, this is for you. Less for me.
Nice smooth mouthfeel, since I have no real love for dank IPAs, I probably wouldn't drink this again but only probably not.
