Brewed in collaboration with Coronado Brewing Co. and El Segundo Brewing Co., this West Coast IPA is clean, crisp, and hop-forward with bright aromatics and assertive bitterness. A dry finish and refreshing drinkability highlight classic West Coast style built for sunshine and good company.

16oz can picked up at the local TJs for $3.50, dated 02/09/26. A classic WCIPA with plenty of tropical fruit, drinks smooth and clean, with a bit of a chalky yet pleasant finish. Not groundbreaking but tasty nonetheless.

Canning code/date is obscured. Poured into a tall pilsner glass on 3/14/26. Not particularly impressive looking. Much less than clear yellow/amber color topped by about 2-fingers of white or off-white head of medium density and duration. A token amount of lacing. Quite bold lemony smell upon pouring. The taste is pretty strongly lemon+grapefruit bitter pith and rind. Bitterness is not excessive but it is in line with expectations for a WC IPA. A good choice if bitter citrus skin+rind is your thing.

Picked up a 16 oz can from the North Coast Co-op cooler in Arcata, CA on 3-4-26 for $3.99. Canned 2-9-26; consumed 3-4-26.
Beer poured golden orange with a pretty good white head.
Nose has notes of citrus and floral hops.
Taste is classic WCIPA, the pale malt base provides the playground for the orange and grapefruit forward hops to present themselves in a slightly muted fashion. Getting some pith and a bit of pine bitterness on the back end; 6/10 on my scale.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and smooth.
Overall, i always look for something fresh in tis style. El Segundo and Coronado have done this for a while and produced a worthy brew.
