Poured from a 16 oz can dated June 09, 2025.
Aroma is hop forward and dank with a ton of that classic Simcoe wet, oily pine resin. Lighter grapefruit with some tangerine as well. Hints of tropical fruit. Medium light cracker malt and light alcohol notes.
Pours a rather clear golden color with a moderately sized, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with moderate cracker malt notes. Fairly high, somewhat assertive bitterness with light alcohol notes. Lots of grapefruit, tangerine and tropical citrus. Lighter notes of tropical fruit and dank, oily pine resin.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid West Coast IPA. So much classic citrus and piney hop.aroma and flavor. The style has moved on from this hop profile, but it's fun to revisit and reminisce about how it used to be.

Aroma is hop forward and fruity with an assertive dank note as well. Lots of strawberry, passion fruit, guava and melon. Lighter citrus notes. Oily, diesel, resinous dank notes with a touch of cat piss. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a somewhat clear, pale, yellow-gold color with a large, fairly thick, fluffy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness with light alcohol notes. Tons of fruity hop notes with strawberry, passion fruit, mango, guava, and melon. Lighter citrus and floral notes. Light dank, oily resin notes hiding in the finish.

Overall, this is a fruity hop bomb. Tons of great fruity aromas and flavors with a nice powerful dank note in the aroma. Lighter body and mouthfeel allow the hops to punch through but are just assertive enough to carry the bitterness and alcohol.

Aroma is a bit muted with medium light hop notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, stone fruit and oily resin. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes.
Pours a clear, brilliant, gold color with a medium large, fairly thick, pillowy white head that recedes slowly but steadily to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and small legs.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate notes of grapefruit and tropical citrus. Much lighter notes of passion fruit, stone fruit and some lingering oily resin.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, it's a clean IPA with balanced bitterness, malt sweetness and alcohol. The hop notes in both the aroma and flavor are lacking though. Not sure if it's just me, but the krush and cryo products just don't do it for me.
