Copper in color with tiny white head. Nose is typical pine. Drier than expected. Nice bitterness in back end but not enough and could have more hop flavors. .

Can from the source. This new style west coast that is so light and inoffensive that you can choose to drink it or nod off. It was OK, and perhaps not the best of this category.

L- unfiltered but not wcipa. Good lacing and a decent head at first
S - vague pineapple lemon and guava whiff.
T - yeah a little tropical and some strange coconut taste. Might not have been kept cold?
F - smooth and balanced just not sure about the hop bill.
O - glad I tried it but needs some better definition and identity as a beer.

Very pale almost straw color, fairly hazy, but still translucent. Big foamy white head. Good retention and lacing.
Very fruity aroma. Peach, pineapple, and lemon.
Smacks of tart lemon upfront, leading into white peach and pineapple. Crackery and slightly doughy malt. Pronounced dank cannabis on the finish, a touch of very minimal bitterness, but finishes clean and dry.
Medium-bodied, medium carbonation, a bit fluffy while remaining crisp. Dry and clean.
...Well, I wouldn't exactly call this a West Coast IPA, but it isn't *quite* New England style, either. More of what you could call "No Coast IPA" which seems to be a thing here in Colorado. It might not be a true West Coast IPA, but it is delicious. I highly recommend this one.

(canned 10 months ago)
Appearance: Pours a quite cloudy (40% clarity) medium pale yellow color with a large white head. SRM of 7. (4.00)
Aroma: Mild aromas of lemon citrus. Some orange and pineapple underneath.
Flavor: Moderate flavors of lemon, pineapple, citrus upfront. A pale malt, smooth finish. Minimal bitterness, but definitely a juicy feel. A dry, clean finish.
Feel: Medium-bodied. Strong carbonation. A smooth mouthfeel and juicy finish. Finish is clean.
Overall: Unfortunately found this one past its itme. Still drinks well though. Some nice lemon and pineapple juicy flavors, while maintaining a full, juicy mouthfeel. Yet a dry and clean finish. Does a lot of things right. I'm sure the flavors were much more prominent when this was fresh. I would be excited to try this one fresh. Not extraordinary, leans juicy rather than west-coast, but drinks decent at 10 months still. (Rating: 3.94)

Straw yellow in color with a hazy complexion. Light lacing. There’s an inch of dishwater white on top. The aroma is of lemon and lime. I’m tasting lime and lemon hops. The mouth is lightly sticky and crisp.
