Dark golden pour, 1/4" white head. Aroma hit the oily pine tree grove thing. Cascade and Centennial I believe.
Taste hits the C hop and crystal malt notes, caramel, pine and rind, together at l--- well, together as you've frequently had for over 20 years. One thing true to the titular namesake though, the mouth feel on this is definitely sticky. I don't bitch much about it, this one doesn't offer up some unique new hop I need to have in the most neutral of setting to get a baseline on it, this is two of the most familiar hops under a crystal malt bag, we've been here before and yet still appreciate the additional green and oily feel of a eucalyptus tree alongside the pine one.
Its not going to set the world afire, but it is a standard, enjoyable, reliable, no frills (beyond the wet hop aspect) kind of beer that has been done hundreds of times for good reason: it works, even if not checking any unique boxes.

Another good IPA by Sun King. Here goes:
A: A very light and clear orange with plenty of carbonation. Also a good amount of head. Very good.
S: A little underwhelming, but you can detect the basic flavor profile from the smell. Very floral and piney with some stickiness.
T: Follows the nose, with a good bit of caramel malt. Lots of pine, honey, and floral flavors followed by some sweet caramel malt. Very good.
F: Great. Well carbonated and full-bodied.
O: A very good beer. I love Indy pales.
