6.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Rich, super hazy golden and honey coloured body with a glow of light copper and a nice, three centimetre tall slightly off-white head. Aroma of pure hops, with some light honey and apricot fruits, along with a bit of grass - but there is a lot of hops in here. Medium-bodied; Citrusey and definite sugary flavour of the hops and malt up front with a good deal of grass, hay, grain, alcohol, honey and some malt - nicely laced throughout. Aftertaste shows some citrus, a lot of sugars, a good deal of alcohol (seemingly more than 7,8%) and the hop bitterness that you’d expect from a West Coast IPA. Overall, a nice very rich beer with a lot of bitterness, a good deal of apricot and fruit-based sweetness and a pleasant malt backbone throughout. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in [downtown] Los Angeles, California on 23-February-2016 for US$5,49 sampled at home after just returning from Tahiti (for my first beer back home - to get an American West-Coast IPA in my system) in Washington on 25-August-2016.
