Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear bright gold with a large foamy white head that laced a bit. Aroma of garlic, citrus and pale malt. Med plus body. Lots of hops. Flavor is wanna be dank (or garlic?) with lots of citrus and even grapefruit zest. Lemon. Dry. Hoppy. Bitter. Unusual hop profile. Extremely tasty.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated February 4, 2020. Aroma is very citrus forward with orange, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon and tropical citrus with light cracker malt notes. Hints of alcohol and light cracker malt notes. Pours a hazy, dull, straw color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Flavor has a faint sweetness with light cracker malt notes. Strong bitterness with light alcohol spice. Loads of citrus with grapefruit, lemon, tangerine, orange and other non descript citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent IPA but it's too citrus forward for me. The bitterness is assertive, but it tastes more like it comes from the citrus than from the hops.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours gold with a white head. Fruity aroma. Med body. Flavor has a yeast/spice start, moves on to what seems to be mixed stone fruit, tho there’s a sharp hit that might be passion fruit. Also a finishing taste reminding of strawberries in jam. Earthy finally. Crisp. Tasty. Different but good.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours brassy gold with a large frothy white head. Citrus/floral aroma. Tropical perhaps. Med body plus a little. Flavor is pine with some tropicals - citrus even - and mildly roasty malt support. Not all that dry, but far from sweet. Hoppy. Bitter. Decent West Coast IPA, but I think I'm detecting a potato aspect. Hmmm Drinks good; tastes good.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated March 19, 2019. Aroma is hop forward - fruity and floral. Nice orange get, tangerine, pineapple and mango notes with hints of resin. Light cracker malt notes and a hint of alcohol spice. Some orange blossom and tropical flower notes. Pours a fairly clear, yellow gold with a medium sized, thick, frothy white head that exhibits nice retention as it slowly recedes to a small film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor has a light sweetness and cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness with a hint of alcohol. Moderate hop notes - tangerine, mandarin, orange pineapple and mango with a bit of resin and a light floral note. Mouthfeel is medium light to light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent West Coast IPA. Really light malt profile with a solid mosaic profile and a bit of floral esters.
