US Pint can from a Trader Joes. Poured into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip at my daughters on 28th July 2025. Clean and clear light golden body, white head that faded swiftly to a wisp and collar. Hop forward with a citrus leaning, good bitterness throughout.

US Pint can from a Trader Joe's and drank on Sunday 6th April 2025, BBQ and Pool Day with my grand daughters and family in California. Slight haze to the fairly dull golden body, on top a fast fading white affair. Citra hops doing their thing, but all a bit 'bland' and subtle compared to other 'West Coast' IPA's I've tried over the years. Bit of a disappointment to be honest.

Can from Total Wine & More, W. Hollywood. Cloudy, dark yellow with thin head, fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, guava, pineapple. Taste mirrors aroma. Smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation and juicy finish as taste. A little to the sweet side without bitter balance.

US Pint can from Trader Joe's, drank on 24th June 2024 while in California at my daughters. Light golden pour, clean and clear, white crown on top. Citra, Simcoe and Amarillo hop combination, so it's citrussy and fairly bitter from the start. It hides the alcohol so well I thought it tasted weak and watery, the label says 7.0% though.
