Big citrus, pine and tropical friit flavors and aromas dominate this west coast IPA. New hop varieties HBC 637 and Strata give this brew orange, pineapple and papaya characters. The mouthfeel is moderate and the finish is crisp and dry.

Shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice crystal clear honey hue with thin white head that fades to leave light wisps.

S - Aromas of pine, bubblegum, vanilla cream candies, little citrus, almost berry like.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with some really unique hop flavors. Earthy pine, strawberries, little bit of vanilla candy. Flashes of vegetative notes and maybe a bit of melon.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, crisp, alcohol hidden nicely.

O - Overall this was a solid enough dipa. Really unique aroma and flavour. Enjoyable.

Thanks to rudzud
Big fluffy creamy head medium retention, bit of lacing, clear medium orange color

Nose interesting as fun, quite fruity, genetic berry like fruit and a purple tropical, but also sweet malt, little candy and caramel, faint pine and earthy, big fruit and so much blend it's hard to pick out the fruit

Taste grainy sweet toasty malts, little caramel candy, toasty like reddish malt, light genetic fruity, and light stone fruit, med bitterness, drier finish, lingering bitterness

Mouth is med to fuller bod, medium carb, light almost no album

Mouth is med bod, good carb, no alcohol
