Second West Coast IPA of the night (the other being Collective Arts Summit Peak). This one is fairly clean, golden colour with an amber hue. The head is frothy, warm-white with decent retention and sticky lacing clouds. Some good piney nose with a caramel malt base, a touch of rye-spiciness, yeast and citrus. The mouthfeel is wet, and the dryness in the end is soft, easy. Flavours are piney, caramel malts, good grassy hoppiness and a tad yeastiness. A little truer on the West Coast-style IPA, but a little less special than the Summit Peak.

A slight haze, bright golden colour with a smaller white head, decent stay and some nice creamy-foamy lacing. Getting some citrus nose at first, but then, some spicy Pils malt come out, the piney and resinous notes. The flavours continues with a nice blend of citrus zestiness, light spiciness, cereal malt base and good pine needles. A wet mouthfeel with some decent dryness in the finish. Quite a refreshing West Coast IPA that has more to offer and goes down nicely.

A light unfiltered, amber colour with golden highlights, a white-pinkish head, fizzing away quick enough, not leaving any lace. Full raspberry, real fruitiness with nice sourness and light tartiness. The taste is again, quite raspberryish with the sour notes lingering, and just a tad tart. Quite an amazing thing to get a raspberry-sour that is 11% ABV, and not feel the alcohol. Just more fruitiness - well-brewed.

Hazy, golden colour with an orange hue, a warm-whitish head, decent stay and thin, creamy-sticky lacing. Big citrus aromas with their juices, zests, and a touch of tropical fruit notes. This continues into the flavours - with a juicy, slightly creamy mouthfeel, heading to some bitter-drying end. The alcohol is very well-hidden in here. Quite a nicely balanced, smooth Double NEIPA with fresh citruses and a tad grassy hops.

Hazy, golden colour with an orange hue, a creamy-frothy warm-white head, good retention and some nice creamyish lacing streaks. Tropical fruits in the aromas with some citrus notes, and grassy-woody hoppiness. A juicy mouthfeel with some nice bitter-dryness building. Citrus zest flavours with the tropical fruits blending well. An easy-drinking, kind of smooth Triple NEIPA with good tropical notes balanced by the citrusy and grassy-woody hops.

Hazy golden colour with an orangy hue, a whitish head, average retention and some good foamy lacing. Some nice citrus aromas with tropical notes and stone fruit hints. About the same for taste, all quite mild, and blended all-around. A wet mouthfeel with just a touch of dryness. Everything here seems so mild, balanced, that this one feels like a NEPA. Was expecting a little more punch from these two great breweries, especially for the style.

Hazy, golden-orange colour with a white cap, decent stay and some foamy lacing. Loads of tropical fruits in the nose, from the Waimea hops, with some citrus and white wine notes. The alcohol is fairly well-blended for an 11% ABV one. Not warming, maybe a touch of bitterness, dryness from it. Again, tropical fruitiness in the flavours with just a tad wine, and a touch more of citrus zestiness. An interesting Quad NEIPA, that almost feels like a 5.5% NEPA.
