Can to tulip.
Appearance: transparent golden yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: citrusy to tropical fruity hop tones, subtle dank and good level of piney-ness
Flavor: bittersweet blending all the prior noted aromas; mild aftertaste of tropical fruits to the danky vibes
Texture: medium bodied, slick along the tongue; she's a sipper; finishes crisp with a touch of a piney grip
Overall: I say nicely done West coast styled DIPA I would have again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: ruddy bronze to amber color with a one finger white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace and left a little bit of lace.
Aroma: some danky tones, piney/resin, touch of tropical fruits and some mango
Flavor: balances all the previously noted aromas bittersweetly; then leads to a mild aftertaste of the danky tones and the tropical fruitiness
Texture: medium bodied, good as a sipper; semi-smooth and slick on my tongue; finishes semi-crisp, danky grip and piney
Overall: I'd say nicely done West coast DIPA I would have again.

Flavor: blends all the prior mentioned aromas together nicely and has a light aftertaste of juicy citrus
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; soft on the tongue; finishes semi-crisp and clean and danky

Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy yellow to copper color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which slid off into oblivion inward and barely left any lace.

Flavor: bittersweet running through the prior mentioned aromas; some pillowy aftertaste of pine, guava and mango
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; soft on the tongue; finishes semi-oily and light piney touch
Overall: a West coast styled IPA that I would bang again.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: semi-clear yellow color with a one and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated finely to leave some light sliding lace.
Aroma: some white grapes, sweet grassy hoppiness, light crackery malts
Flavor: integrates the prior noted aromas nicely to a sly oily sweet to semi-bitter vibe; sly aftertaste of white grapes and sweet grassy hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; oily to my tongue; finishes slick, oily and white grape-like hoppy
Overall: long live the India Pale Lager, definitely a beer style that needs to be broadcasted out to the masses of who like lighter styled beers with some flavor and this one definitely does the job of doing what is needed to be done

Can from Big Trees in Arnold. Clear light gold with small ivory head that fades to a dense collar of small bubbles. Aroma is dank with slight tropical fruit. Flavor is balance of dank and fruit, with strong malt backbone. Rounded mouthfeel adds very nice texture. Solid.

Can purchased at Big Trees in Arnold. Clear garnet with ivory head. Grassy aroma and flavor. A bit leaning into the malt too much.
