16oz tallboy can purchased at Rocket Market, high atop Spokane's South Hill, for $4.60. No freshness date on the can.
Poured into a pseudo-IPA glass, this was a clear golden amber color, with a big, fluffy, creamy looking head. Lots of lace.
Citrusy hop aroma. Pretty straightforward WCIPA character.
Flavor is a little bit sweeter than I expected, but by no means cloyingly so. Sweetness is more on the back end, whereas a light citrusy lemon-lime thing is up front. Unusual, but enjoyable.
Mouth feel was resin, but also a bit watery for the style.
Odd, but easy drinking. I'd hit it again.

Pint can from OSB, "Kief Box" IPA. 8.2% ABV. No apparent date. Served in a stemless tulip.
Beer is very clear yellow color and can be provoked to form a very large foamy white head. Pleasantly sweet floral and dank aroma. Flavor has some spicy and fruity hops, along with an assertive but not overpowering bitterness. There's something about cryo hops that I always find lacking. But it's drinkable enough and the mouthfeel is good.

16oz can (no date) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a lightly cloudy dark yellow color with under 1/2 inch of white head that had low retention and lacing.
Nice bright hops, mostly citrus, at the front of the nose, with just a touch of grain in the background.
Similar on the tongue, hop dominant for sure, but a touch of malt sweetness provided some contrast on the finish.
The body was medium, a bit rough across the middle-back of the palate, and had a medium-dry finish.
Drinkability was good, i could see knocking back a few of these.
Overall, a solid, if average-ish, brew. Worth a shot if you see it.

Poured from a mini growler into a Seattle Beer Week pint. Pours a medium coppery amber with an interesting head that started out thin, but built to a fine one finger layer with great retention and lacing. Looks nice. Caramel malt, citrus and mildly dank hops, a little lemon citrus and green onion. Flavor follows, with caramel malt, citrus, dank and lightly piney hops, hints of lemon and orange citrus. Finishes with mellow, but firm piney hops with some dank notes. Very good creamy body. A nicely balanced caramel malt based IIPA. I expected a bit more classic dankness from the name, but the hop flavors here are complex and interesting enough to satisfy and probably better than a dank bomb. The finish is a fine combo of pine, citrus and dankness. I like good caramel malt bodies in my IIPAs and this one delivers. Hop flavors delivered here; expected more weedy flavors, but no regrets.
