Wow Pop combines the explosive hop flavor you expect in an IPA with unmatched drinkability and balance. Dive in and you’re greeted by a waves of vibrant, juicy peach, pine needles, and toasted grain before arriving at a satisfying grapefruit rind bitterness.
Hops: Cascade, Chinook, Simcoe and Centennial hops.

Don’t pay attention to the review below. There’s nothing wrong with this IPA, nothing weird.
Actually has a lot of aroma to it, very citrusy, almost tropical but rather piney. The taste follows suit, although it is not the kind of IPA that knocks you out, it is kind of light, or put it in another way, very drinkable, sessionable, crushable, as the name implies. It is perhaps the most sessionable of the non-session IPA category that I had. Crushable and enjoyable, because contrary to session(able) IPAs that fall on the watery side, this one has enough taste to keep you satisfied. I am glad that such a lightheartedly crushable IPA exists.
Torrance by the way must be very much under the influence of “the Smog City” (LA) to call its brewery by this name - even though it is a “beach city” with 1.5 miles of ocean shore...

Mostly clear with a bit of haze. Straw yellow. Aroma is grassy with a faint bit of citrus. Tastes like maybe it has tea in it? Hmm. Not sure. Kinda wierd.
