6 oz draft pour at Lures Bar & Grille. Pours a hazy yellow/orange color with an off-white head. Aroma and flavor feature sweet tropical fruit, stone fruit, orange, malt, and a hint of dank grass. More sweet than bitter, but in a good way. Very juicy. I enjoyed this quite a lot.

Pint on tap at Your Pie in Clemson, SC.
Appearance. Cloudy, straw colored body with a very good white head.
This exceptionally hazy IPA comes with moderate bitterness and otherwise bold flavor with tropical fruit notes.
It's juicy with a well carbonated, near full body.

16 ounce can in a nonic pint glass. Delivered by a friend from SC, about 12 weeks since canned.
Cloudy yellow wheat color. Big fluffy white cap that lasts with heavy lacing.
Big mix hop aroma; tropical fruit, peach, citrus blend, pine, dank, pineapple. Clean light yeast and dough.
Heavy on fruit flavors. Pineapple, passion fruit, peach, berries, lemon and grapefruit citrus.
Medium bodied hop bomb. The hops cover the grain bill. Modest bitterness, leaning toward juice feel.
WCIPA set up that winds up neipa style.

Citra hops, Citra , Galaxy and Simcoe dry hopping, Conan yeast, Oats, Pale Malt, Wheat.
Clear Golden color, 1 cm. fine white head, surface ring, continent, spotty lacing.
Strong pineapple, passion fruit, grapefruit, pine aromas.
Pineapple, melon, pine, grapefruit flavors.
Crisp refreshing mouthfeel.
Clear, so I would class this as a WCIPA. I liked this better than the Rinse and Repeat IPA's which I also enjoyed. Westbrook released Waves On Waves, an 8% Imperial IPA last year, that was very good, and I am not sure what connection it has to this beer.
One of Westbrook's best IPA's in my opinion.
