Mosaic hops take center stage in this truly West Coast India Pale Ale. The perfect companion for enjoying a sunny day on Main Street with us in our charming little town, affectionally known as "Mayberry by the Sea".

Simmzy’s in Manhattan Beach.
Poured a golden somewhat hazy yellow with decent head that left some good lacing.
Aroma was piney and dank Some malt as well.
The taste was west coast IPA citrus, dank, malty and bitter with a semi-dry finish.
The mouthfeel was good carbonation with a dry finish.
Overall a nice West Coast IPA.

Pours a hazed golden color with a white head. Smell is juicy and tropical and dank . Taste has citrus berries melon and pine resin. Mouth feel is hoppy with malts and some fitter nests Leans towards a WCIPA

Canned 10/26/20; Drank 1/20/21
Look: Pours a dee, darkish orange with a decent heard
Smell/Taste: The aroma was mostly unremarkable. Was expecting a bit more fruity, but had kind of a dry citrus, almost tart-like quality. Definitely on the more bitter, resiney side of IPAs.
Feel: Moderate carbonation. Had a nice ling, crisp finish.
Overall: I would call this your classic west coast IPA, but nothing I got overly excited about.

Decent IPA, stays true to older style IPAs (more WC than NE). Its good but kinda plain. If I was at a friend's BBQ that had this beer id be stoked but if I had my pick out of any IPA, it would be low on the list. Don't get me wrong, it is good. So give it a try.

Top notch modern WC IPA right here. Assertive bitterness complimented by softer hop notes and a malt body that just balances that dry bitter pithy main note.
Brilliant clear golden beer with a sturdy white foam head.
Nose is bright and unique with notes of honeydew and papaya over top of typical citrus and pine hints.
Taste has an assertive dry bitterness like grapefruit pith front and center. Softer floral and creamy fruit notes play more along the edges
Perfect body, full and crisp

16 oz can bought from room temp shelf at Trader Joes on about 11/14/20 Can dated 9/10/20. Beautiful white head about 3 fingers high in a tall tulip glass. Barely there haze. Decent lacing. Smell and taste match the "Mosaic hop" description. Smooth mouthfeel. I'm just not overly excited about this one and trying to not let my antipathy for Mosaic hops influence my judgement too much. Maybe fresher would be better.

Picked up a single from the Craft Beer Hop Stop cooler 6-5-20 for $3.24. Canned on 5-20-20; consumed 8-20-20.
Beer poured golden with a nice white head with the original pour.
Nose is floral hops with a touch of citrus.
Taste is old school WCIPA. Clean medium malt base sets up the showcase of hops which come across as grapefruit and gooseberry. Finishes with a nice abrasive pine and rind bitterness; 9/10 on my scale.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and both smooth and refreshing.
Overall a really enjoyable WCIPA at a pretty nice price!

16 oz can from Lifesource Natural grocery in Salem OR.
$3.29
I see this is 2.5 months old..lets see if it hold up.
Pours a clear golden colour with a good sized thick and frothy white head.
'Still has plentiful hop aromas at least..citrus..lemon zest, pink grapefruit..slight floral hints.
Taste is similar but seems to be fading with age..its still nice but has that faded taste you get with older IPA.
Mouth feel is medium with medium to low carbonation..its OK. Long lasting bitter finish.
A nice IPA..like to taste fresh
